Answer: The correct answer is "Extinction".
Explanation: It has been two years since any employee has received a bonus at Cloud9, and the possibility of getting one no longer seems to motivate employees. In this case, management has inadvertently applied extinction.
Because no employee has received a bonus for a long time and as time goes by they forget about this, and lose motivation about getting one, the administration gradually extinguished the possibility of workers receiving a bonus.
