Delegation is the assignment of tasks and authority from a manager to a worker. Responsibility refers to the obligation of a worker to perform assigned tasks. Authorization refers to granting permission to do something. Accountability refers to being held responsible for the results of a task or decision. Relegation is not a relevant term in this context. Therefore, the correct choice is delegation.
