Functional authority is referred to as limited line authority. It is a special type of authority for staff personnel, which must be designated by top management. It gives a staff person power over a particular function, such as safety, accounting or financial. Usually, functional authority is given to specific staff personnel with expertise in a certain area. For example, members of an accounting department might have authority to request documents they need to prepare financial reports, or a human resource manager might have authority to ensure that all departments are complying with equal employment opportunity laws.

Considering the above mentioned explanation of Functional Authority, points (b) & (e) according to me are not true reflections with regard to functional authority.
