Ugh, I hate these theory-based questions. They always feel so abstract and disconnected from real-world business. I'm just going to take my best guess and move on. Hopefully I can make up for it on the other questions.

Ah, I remember learning about McGregor's theories in class. This description definitely matches Theory Y, which sees workers as self-motivated and interested in problem-solving. I'm pretty sure the answer is B.

This seems straightforward. Option A looks like the most likely scenario - existing services continue running, but new service creation in the web UI is blocked during the upgrade.

Hmm, this is a tough one. I'll have to go with D. Theory X, because who doesn't love a good problem-solving approach, right? *wink*
