Okay, let's see. I know HRM is more strategic and focused on the big picture, while Personnel is more about day-to-day operations. I'll use that to guide my answer.

I'm going to have to go with D. Viewing employees as assets is such a cold and impersonal way to approach HR. I hope that's not the right answer!
