Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. The work breakdown structure is about the project tasks, the product breakdown is about the deliverables, and the responsibility assignment is about roles and responsibilities. That leaves the organizational breakdown structure as the one that shows the reporting relationships and communication channels. I'm going with B.
