upward- secretary of club reads meeting minutes to entire club, downward - club member proposes a new activity at a meeting, lateral-club officers present reports to each other, grapevine- news of the club’s invitation to a competition is shared

Explanation

Upward messages move from members to club leadership, so a member proposing a new activity is upward communication. Downward messages move from officers to members, as when the secretary reads meeting minutes to the club, while reports exchanged among officers are lateral communication. Informal news shared through the club is grapevine communication, so choice C matches all four types.
