【参考答案及解析】
Rationale: Options A, B and D were identified as barriers to effective appraisal by Lockett:'appraisal as unfinished business' (distracting from future-focused improvement planning)； 'appraisal as bureaucracy' (a mere form-filling exercise)； and 'appraisal as an annual event' (where on-going performance management is required). Lockett also identified 'appraisal as confrontation' as a barrier, but this is not what is implied by Option C, which reflects a genuine, job-relevant, problem-solving approach.
