		Careful counts are made as inventory is loaded on the trucks.

Answer 1

Answer- Option B ( truck drivers are allowed to use the trucks for personal reason including taking them home at night , as a benefit of employment.

If truck drivers take the trucks to home , they can do anything with the inventory . For example , they can sale to someone else to earn money or they can destroy the product on suggesting by your rival etc. This clearly shows the control weakness over employees.

Other options indicate that no one can take the benefit of any kind . As they are controlled by the rules and regulations.
