A CEO of a major company has noted a serious decline in worker productivity within the last 3 years. According to a report completed by a consultant, productivity dropped by 35% during that time. The CEO has therefore initiated a plan to boost productivity in which employees receive stock options in the company.
Which of the following, if true, would make the CEO's plan logically sound?
A Studies indicate that owning part of something makes one work harder to make it successful.
B Workers respond more to increases in salary than to the threat of being fired or demoted.
C The drop in worker productivity is due to the management policies of the current CEO and the Board of Directors.
D The financial situation of the company is actually more grave than the issue of employee productivity.
E The outside consultant hired to study the productivity of the company is often very accurate in her work.

Pre-thinking: How are stocks going to boost productivity?
A Studies indicate that owning part of something makes one work harder to make it successful. Makes sense, owing a part (stock) makes one work harder for it's success (boost productivity)
B Workers respond more to increases in salary than to the threat of being fired or demoted. Stock is not equivalent to increase in salary.
C The drop in worker productivity is due to the management policies of the current CEO and the Board of Directors. We are not concerned for the cause of productivity loss but how stocks would fix it
D The financial situation of the company is actually more grave than the issue of employee productivity. This goes in the opposite direction. If finances are bad, even stocks won't help, as they may not be that valuable
E The outside consultant hired to study the productivity of the company is often very accurate in her work. The decline was already observed. The consultant just put a number to it. anyway, this doesn't help to analyse how stocks will help boost productivity

OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
A Supply the Assumption question. We must provide an assumption that helps explain and support the CEO's action. The premise is that productivity has dropped, and the conclusion is to give workers stock options. We need something that links those two statements, and that also supports the stock option idea.
A is the best answer. If people work harder for something they own, then productivity will go up with the distribution of stock options to workers.
B is not relevant, because increases in salary are not stock options. Neither is C relevant. D actually weakens the plan. And E, though attractive as a possible inference from the text, does not support the conclusion nor connect the premise with the conclusion
