The answer is - A. This policy can make coordination with headquarters problematic

Explanation:

The polycentric policy is an approach to international management which has to do with the hiring and promotion of employees who are citizens or nationals of the host country that operates the company. The employees who are citizens of the host country take on managerial positions in order to execute operations in the subsidiary company. This approach is also used to maintain low hiring cost as employing foreigners could cost more. However, this policy has some disadvantages, one of which is that it can make coordination with the headquarters problematic.
