Answer: A

Explanation:

A lateral transfer is a move to a different job with essentially the same title, pay, and level in an organization. Transfers are effective (in this case) if an employee was put into a wrong role because of a mismatch of skills possessed by the employee and those needed on the job.

Vertical loading (or job enrichment) gives employees responsibilities, accountability, autonomy, and control formerly reserved for higher level positions.

Horizontal loading (or job enlargement) is the practice of adding extra tasks (that require a similar level of skill) to an existing job. The difference between job enrichment and job enlargement is quality and quantity. By job enrichment, an employee finds satisfaction in respect to their position and personal growth potential C while job enlargement refers to having additional duties and responsibilities in a current job.
