The usage of "or"

Hi all,

Can anyone tell me the usage of "or" in the following sentence ?

"You must get the approval from A, B or C."

So, my interpretation is that I should get approval from anyone of them. The approval from anyone of them is already adequate.

However, I heard another interpretation is that I should get approval from A first, then get approval from B or C.

So, which interpretation is correct ? Thanks

The approval from any one of them is adequate . PS: for the other case, it would need to read: from A and B or C.
