Answer: C. Availability of faster communication modes

Faster and more reliable communication modes make it easier for top management to stay informed and exercise oversight even when decision-making authority is pushed down the hierarchy, which encourages higher decentralization. Lack of expertise at the corporate level and management costs are separate considerations, but based on the options given, availability of faster communication is the factor most directly tied to enabling decentralization.
