Reason (R):Organisational communication is not necessary to achieve the organisation's objectives.
ABoth A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
BBoth A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A
CA is correct but R is not correct ✓ Correct
DA is not correct but R is correct
Correct answer: (C) A is correct but R is not correct
Explanation
The assertion holds while the reason does not, for organisational communication truly flows downward, upward and horizontally across interdependent relations.
Downward flow carries orders and guidance from managers to staff.
Upward flow carries reports and feedback from staff to managers.
Horizontal flow links peers and units for coordination.
The reason fails because organisational communication is in fact necessary to achieve the organisation's objectives.
Without aligned effort the goals cannot be reached, leaving a correct assertion beside a false reason.
