I thought PKS was more about training costs, but I can't remember if that was in the context of option D or something else.

I feel like I saw a question similar to this in practice, and it was about how PKS rewards learning and development. That sounds like option A again.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about PKS being more flexible than job-based pay. Maybe that relates to option A too?

I think option A makes the most sense because PKS focuses on individual skills, while job-based pay looks at the job itself.
