Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Functional, geographical, and network are all types of horizontal design where decision making, communication, and coordination are distributed among different departments or teams. Centralization is the opposite of this, where decision making and power are concentrated at the top of the hierarchy. Therefore, D is the option that does not fit the definition of horizontal design.
