I'm going with C, but I gotta say, the answer options are pretty entertaining. 'More sunshine'? Seriously, who comes up with this stuff?

D all the way, baby! You know how it is - workers get a little too involved, and before you know it, the whole place is in chaos. Strikes and sabotage, that's the way it goes.

Haha, A? Really? Longer holidays and more sunshine? What kind of fantasy world do they think we live in? This test is clearly designed to trick us.

I'm gonna have to go with B on this one. Whenever you get a bunch of workers involved in decision-making, it just turns into a never-ending debate. Ain't nobody got time for that!

I think it really depends on the situation and how the process is managed. It could go either way.

I see your point, but I still think it can lead to never-ending debates and indecision.

I disagree, I think involving workers in decision-making can actually lead to overcoming resistance to change and increased productivity.

C'mon, seriously? The answer is obviously C. Like, who doesn't know that worker participation leads to better cooperation and productivity? This question is a piece of cake!
