I thought lump-sum increases were mostly about compensating for missing benefits, but I might be mixing it up with another topic.

I feel like lump-sum increases could also relate to short-term incentives, but I can't recall the specifics.

I remember a practice question that mentioned something about elevating employees below the midpoint, so maybe option B is correct?

I think lump-sum increases are often used to manage fixed costs, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the main reason.
