What are the divisions of a company often called?

• A. Departments
• B. Functional units
• C. Teams
• D. Branches

Answer: (D)

Branches are the divisions of a company that operate in different locations or regions. This term highlights geographic spread and local management under the same corporate umbrella, such as a bank or retailer with branches in multiple cities. In contrast, departments or functional units refer to internal areas like marketing or finance within a single location, and teams are groups formed to complete specific tasks. So, when a company is described as having divisions in different places, branches is the best fit.
