Rationale: This is a positive and realistic view of the benefits and limitations of training: not all performance problems are amenable to training, and may need other sorts of intervention (discipline, counselling, equipment repair, job re-design, motivation and so on). Option A would fail to involve trainees and line managers, who are key stakeholders in training. Option B would limit training provision, ignoring its significant benefits. Option C would fail to design training programmes appropriately for specific training needs and learner style preferences.
