Employees who understand how their roles fit into the "big picture" of a business or organization are more motivated to do their jobs well. Corporate leaders wishing to improve workers morale should thus consider the "participatory" style of management, in which workers are given an individual piece of a project to carry out, replete with its own explicit goals and responsibilities.
Which of the following illuminates an assumption underlying the statements above?
A) Workers with responsibilities are more motivated than those without.
B) Few employees are inclined to participate in any phase of a project without being granted express rights and responsibilities.
C) Managers using less interactive leadership methods are not as effective as those who do use such methods.
D) Having responsibility for a segment of an enterprise helps employees grasp where they fit within an organizational structure.
E) Corporate managers should involve subordinates in all levels of decision making.
Please help guys, and provide a detailed explanation if you can

Employees who understand their fit into the organization are motivated to do well.
To improve workers morale, corporate leaders should consider participatory style of management.
We have to establish a link between the above two statements.
A) Workers with responsibilities are more motivated than those without. - Incorrect. Out of scope. Argument does not provide any info to compare between workers with responsibilities and workers without responsibilities.
B) Few employees are inclined to participate in any phase of a project without being granted express rights and responsibilities. - Incorrect. If only few employees support the initiative then it weakens the argument.
C) Managers using less interactive leadership methods are not as effective as those who do use such methods. - Incorrect. Out of context. No info is given about managers or interactive leadership methods.
D) Having responsibility for a segment of an enterprise helps employees grasp where they fit within an organizational structure. - Correct.
E) Corporate managers should involve subordinates in all levels of decision making. - Incorrect. Out of context. This option speaks about decision making whereas argument is concerned about improving workers morale.

General Discussion
I don't understand why option A is wrong in this question. Option A and option D both seem like assumptions of this question to me.
