Answer:

B. രണ്ട് മാത്രം

• The work of J.W. Lorsch and P.R. Lawrence within the contingency framework emphasizes the interconnectedness of organizational components.

• This understanding necessitates a management approach that considers these complex interdependencies when formulating strategies and making decisions.
