Answer: C

Explanation:

More often than not, compensation and culture are two possible culprits behind a high turnover rate in an organization.

The HR president has already done a compensation analysis that shows the rival companies have similar pay and benefits, therefore there is no need for an additional pay analysis.

The company culture should be analyzed to determine areas that may be responsible for the high turnover rate.
