Correct answer: C, D, G

Explanation

Answer C is correct because a matrix organization involves shared authority between functional and project managers. D is also correct as resources are typically allocated from functional areas to projects in this structure. G is valid as well, since the authority of project managers can vary significantly in a matrix setup, ranging from strong to weak, which reflects the flexible nature of the organization.
