The term described as identifiable elements of an organization that provide members and outsiders with a better understanding of its culture is "artifacts" (option B).

Artifacts in organizational culture refer to tangible and visible aspects such as symbols, physical structures, and objects that convey the values, beliefs, and norms of the organization.

These can include logos, office layout, dress code, and other material elements.

While stories, symbols, and rituals also contribute to organizational culture, artifacts specifically encompass the tangible and observable aspects that help shape and communicate the cultural identity of the organization to both internal and external stakeholders.
