Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Allowing participation means that employees have an opportunity to make decisions about the task you have assigned them. Other people are more likely to engage willingly, perform tasks competently, and experience empowerment when they help decide what tasks are to be assigned to them and when. Often, you cannot allow complete choice about such matters, but providing opportunities to decide when tasks will be completed, how accountability will be determined, when work will begin, or what methods and resources will be used in task accomplishment increases employees' engagement.
