Which of the following is true of downward communication?

A) The process of creating progress reports is an example of downward communication.
B) Recording a project's results and accomplishments involves downward communication.
C) Orientation to a company's rules and practices is an element of downward communication.
D) Problem solving and clarifications in organizations involve downward communication.

Orientation to company rules and practices is an example of downward communication as it involves information being passed down from higher-level management to lower-level employees. Progress reports, recording project results, problem solving, and clarifications are not necessarily examples of downward communication, as they can involve communication between individuals at the same level or from lower-level employees to higher-level management.
