Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 10 states: 'While others hold the view that salaries paid to workers should be seen as an investment that will have a multiplier effect on productivity or the bottom line. This is the positive philosophy. The positive compensation/reward philosophy places a premium on having a reward system that is just, fair, equitable, transparent, and rewarding employees according to their efforts, performance/ contribution.'

Hint

Consider the philosophical stance that sees compensation as a driver of future gains, not just an expense.
