C) conceptual.

Explanation:

Conceptual skills are essential in managers of large companies, such as that of the multinational Nike.

This ability means that the manager has a vision of the organization as an integrated system, where each part has its relevance in the organizational whole and must be considered in the processing, evaluation and planning of the strategies that will lead to organizational success.

Having conceptual skills means having the skills to have a diffuse and analytical thinking of the organization and all the parts that involve it, which makes the entire management decision-making process much more efficient and aligned with the organization's objectives and goals.
