Answer:

Option C is correct = downward.

Explanation:

Communication is an important aspect of management and one of the things needed to the proper functioning of an organization. The two main types of Communication is place of work are the upward Communication and the downward Communication.

The downward Communication is the kind of flow of information from those that are the leaders down to the followers. So, if you take a look at the question again you will see that the position of a Vice President of that college is higher than that of the deans and department chairs. So, this kind of Communication is a downward Communication.

If the opposite of the downward Communication occurs then we say the type of communication is an upward Communication.
