I'm torn between options C and D. I feel like both relate to performance, but I'm not clear on which is more accurate for merit pay.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think option C makes the most sense since it aligns with the organization's mission.

I think the main goal of a merit pay program is to connect pay with performance, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the only focus.

Okay, I think I've got a good strategy for this. I'll focus on identifying the key reason why linking manager rewards to communication is important, and then match that to the best option.
