Taylor and Crystal are working in a strong matrix organization. Crystal is a functional manager and represents the assembly line. One of the projects they are working together on has a phase-to-phase relationship, the next phase starts only if the previous phase is complete. Identify the correct relationship below.

A. Overlapping relationship.
B. Sequential relationship.
C. Iterative relationship.
