Explanation

Chain of command is the formal system of authority that establishes the line of authority from top to bottom in an organization. It specifies who reports to whom and ensures clear communication and accountability. Unity of command (option A) is a related principle stating that each employee should report to only one supervisor, but it's not the system itself.
