Ah, the old 'trick question' approach. I bet the answer is D - commissions tend to make up a bigger chunk of the total pay, unlike annual incentives.

I'm pretty sure the correct answer is C. Aligning the employee's interests with the organization's is the whole point of these types of incentives.

I believe annual incentives are more about rewarding overall performance, while commissions are more about hitting specific targets.
