Correct answer: C. Both I and II
- A. I
- B. II
- C. Both I and II
- D. Neither I nor Il
Explanation
Both courses of action can be logically pursued to address the issue of employees arriving late to work. I. Imposing a strict penalty of half a day's pay for each instance of being late may incentivize employees to be punctual. II. Applying a 15-minute buffer and docking a day's pay for those who are consistently late after this buffer period provides a grace period and then a more severe consequence for repeated lateness, which can also encourage punctuality. Therefore, both courses of action can help address the issue of employees arriving late to work, making option C the correct choice.

About Course of Action
Course of action questions present a problem and several proposed responses, asking whether each response is practical, relevant, proportionate and directed at the stated cause. Sound action should be feasible and ethical, while an immediate reaction, an unrelated measure or an extreme solution does not necessarily address the problem.
