I thought workload measures were about the amount of work done, so that can't be it. I’m leaning towards outcome measures too, but I need to double-check my notes.

I’m really torn between B) and C). I feel like both could fit, but I can't recall the exact definitions we went over.

I remember practicing a similar question, and I think output measures are related to the results of services. So, maybe C) is the right choice?
