(D). task-oriented and people-oriented structures.

Explanation:

A task-oriented structure of leadership is one in which the leader places more emphasis on completion of the tasks in an organization. Such a leader prioritizes the achieving the goals of the organization over the needs of the employees doing the job.

In people-oriented leadership structures however, the leader recognizes that the work to be done is important but focuses more on building personal relationships with the employees doing the job.
