Letter D is correct. A traditional work group.

Explanation:

A traditional working group is made up of a group of people whose goal is to achieve some common goal. Some characteristics of a traditional working group are specialization and completion of tasks. Each employee must perform his task and report to the manager, who has the function of controlling and coordinating his subordinates, ensuring that the required activities are performed effectively in order to achieve the organizational goals and objectives.
