The correct answer is "Additional time is required for meetings and coordination."

Matrix organization is nothing but the organization where the employees will have multiple reporting line and perform different roles in different functions. The advantages of matrix organization are effective usage of resources across different functions (efficiency), high motivation in employees due to multiple roles and showcasing their skills in different field (flexibility), improved and prompt decision making due to designated project manager (strong project focus) and specialists are not changed when the project ends as they work along with their functional group. One of the disadvantage of the matrix design is that additional time is required for meetings and coordination because resources are used across different functions so it is time consuming for conducting meeting and coordination.
