The formal network of an organization includes the established channels of communication that are recognized by the organization's leaders for directing information flow, such as upward communication (from lower-level employees to higher-level managers). Downward communication (from higher-level managers to lower-level employees) and lateral communication (among employees at the same level or in different departments) are also part of the formal network. Therefore, option A is the correct choice.
