B. inverted organization.

Explanation:

An inverted organization is an organizational structure in which employees are encouraged to take an important role and receive autonomy to perform their jobs. Also, employees are able to collaborate through the different levels of the company and people in management positions provide guidance and support and allow their workers opportunities to lead. So, according to this, Westerly is an inverted organization as Heather says that the company gives her freedom to do her job, she feels valued and managers are willing to assist her.
