This question was previously asked in
MH SET 2019 Paper 2 Sociology Question Paper (23-Jun-2019)
The correct answer is

Work specialization

Work specialization (division of labour) is the degree to which tasks are divided into separate jobs. The essence is that an entire job is broken into a number of steps, and each step is completed by a separate individual rather than one person doing the whole job.

Departmentalization is the grouping of jobs into units (by function, product, territory, etc.), and information sharing or collectiveness do not describe the splitting of a task into steps.

Hence, the answer is Work specialization.
