Discussion
In the administrative hierarchy, what is the special connotation of the term "department" ?
Answer: C
A department is the largest and highest unit below the chief executive.
In the hierarchy of a government's administrative organisation, the department is the primary unit directly under the chief executive, headed by a minister or secretary and responsible for a major function. Below it come bureaus, divisions, branches and sections.
The smallest unit is the section, not the department; territorial subdivisions are field units such as districts; and academic divisions of a university are a different, non-governmental use of the word.
