B. A job interview.
C. An exit interview.
D. A stay interview.

Answer 1

Mauve Inc.

The interview that Lucas conducted in this scenario is:

C. An exit interview.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Brooke is leaving Mauve Inc. after working for five years, any interview at this stage is called an exit interview. The essence of such an interview, which is actually the opposite of a job interview, is to ascertain the reasons Brooke decides to leave the company. It provides an opportunity to learn about how an employee feels about her work with the company, including relationships with team members and impressions about the company's working conditions.
