Not sure if all workers lack ambition, though.

I vaguely remember that Theory X suggests workers need close supervision, but I'm unsure if that means they lack ambition.

I'm going with C. It's the only one that directly addresses the 'management styles' part of the question. Though I do enjoy the irony of 'lack of confidence in their workers' being an option. That's the understatement of the century!

As a production line worker myself, I can tell you that option A is spot on. The management definitely assumes we're a bunch of lazy slackers who can't be trusted with any responsibility.
