Explanation:

A divisional structure groups employees based on products or services. Johnson & Johnson's divisions (consumer healthcare products, medical devices and diagnostics, pharmaceuticals) are product - based. A matrix structure has dual reporting (e.g., functional and project). A functional structure groups by functions (e.g., marketing, finance). An international structure focuses on global operations. Since it's grouped by products, it's a divisional structure.
