Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Job rotation.

Explanation:

Job rotation means that workers move from one task to another, that is, their jobs are exchanged periodically. In some cases, these are similar tasks, although within jobs located in different contexts, sections or departments. For example, the passage of an operator from one sector to another within an assembly line or the exchange of a typist from the administration department to the sales department, are examples of job rotation from one place to another, without changing the type of tasks and activities they perform.
