Option B, Melvin's mother, who just received a very favorable job evaluation from her employer.

Explanation:

This scenario is likely the “Job evaluation” or “Employee performance appraisal”

An evaluation of work performance is a process that often incorporates written and oral components. The manager reviews and provides information on employee performance and measures to improve or change practices if appropriate.

Salary increases and rewards are conditional on reporting results.  Assessments are also necessary to help workers improve their skills and be praised or appreciated for a good job.

For a number of different reasons, business owners may prefer the quantitative work appraisal system. The ranking method is rational and relatively easy to execute. The system requires few variables and thereby reduces the chance that other work assessment systems can be overlapped. You can also allocate money for workers.
