The correct answer is (a) - Parallel teams.

Explanation:

The majority of the teams in which the manager or boss assigns and directs the work of the team, normally what we see is the so-called "parallel work" in which each team member develops only one functionality planned in the scope of the project. This type of organization gives the administrator the feeling that several of the functionalities are being developed at the same time, which should ensure that the project is not delayed. Well, if we analyze this with a little more care we will see that what happens is exactly the opposite.
