The correct answer is

Delegation

Decentralisation means the systematic dispersal of decision-making authority to lower levels of the organisation (or to field units), so that decisions are taken close to the point of action.

It comes about through delegation: when superiors entrust part of their authority to subordinates, and this is done consistently across the organisation, the organisation becomes decentralised. Delegation is the process; decentralisation is the end result.

Span of control is only the number of subordinates a superior can supervise effectively; it shapes the structure (tall or flat) but does not by itself transfer authority.

Coordination is the integration of efforts towards a common goal, and leadership is the ability to influence and guide people; neither of them disperses authority.

Hence, the answer is Delegation.
