A matrix structure is accomplished by creating permanent teams that cut across functions to support specific products, projects, or programs. Therefore, option C is the correct answer. Option A is incorrect because workers in a matrix structure can be part of multiple teams. Option B is incorrect because a matrix structure is designed to be flexible and adaptable to regional and functional differences. Option D is incorrect because a matrix structure is made up of permanent teams. Option E is partially true, but not specific enough to be the best choice. While top management may be involved in problem-solving, it is not a defining characteristic of a matrix structure.
