The correct response is Option D. A poor mentoring relationship will likely result if a mentor recruits trainees merely for the mentor's own career advancement.
Explanation:
Being a mentor is a huge responsibility. It helps if the mentor and the trainee share interests and that the mentor himself or herself is ethical and takes some responsibility for the trainee or advisee. Expectations for work should be clear and there should be a mutual interest in the kind of research or experimentation that will be carried out. It reflects badly on the professor if they are only hiring research assistants in order to advance their own product ideas and research findings.
