Explanation:

Question (First Question)

A functional organizational structure groups employees by their specific functions or departments (like Research, Product Development, Manufacturing, Marketing, Sales here). Geographic structure is based on location, divisional on products/markets, and mixed is a combination. So the firm’s structure is functional.

In change management, Schaffer's view is that leaders should see change as integral to management, not a rare disruptor. So the statement is True.

In VUCA, Complexity involves multiple interrelated factors (like different regulatory, tariff, cultural contexts in many countries). Uncertainty is about unknown outcomes, Ambiguity about unclear meaning, Volatility about rapid change. So the challenge is Complexity.

B. functional
