I could be wrong, but I feel like options B and C are more about benefits rather than disadvantages.

I practiced a question similar to this, and I think dilution of functional authority was mentioned as a common issue in matrix structures.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like flexibility being encouraged is more of an advantage than a disadvantage.

I think I remember that a matrix structure can lead to confusion in authority, so A might be the right answer.
