(C) If there are limited slots that go with popular shifts.
(D) If the employees are currently divided into teams based on specific skill sets.
(E) If the employees undertake projects that run into lead times of several months .

Used POE to arrive at the answer, errors highlighted in red above...
Justifications for (D)
If currently the team is divided according to the according to specific requirement of their client (According to their varied support requirement at a particular time of the day) the flexible timing will result in poor quality service resulting in decreased productivity.
So (D) looks good...

Hi Abhishek009
I also choose D , but doesn't B also weaken the argument ? Of course it will be Employer's problem not that of employee's , but if it fails to provide logistics wouldn't it also decrease employee work productivity.
Also I wanted ask about A, we can add new info when it is weaken question. We don't choose A because even though it can affect the rythm of their bodies we don't know whether it will decrease it or not ? or we eliminate answer choice A because of something else.
Looking forward for your discussion
