I feel like option D makes sense since it ties performance metrics to salary planning, but I wonder if that's too simplistic.

I think option B sounds familiar because it mentions variable pay, which we covered in class. But I'm a bit confused about how tenure fits into that.

Hmm, I wonder if any of the options include bribery or brown-nosing as factors in the performance review process. Just asking for a friend.
