Answer 1

D. most workers must be coerced to work.

Step-by-step explanation:

McGregor’s Theory X is a theory related to management and work motivation. The theory X assumption is that most people dislike work and would most likely avoid it if given the opportunity, hence workers must be controlled or coerced to work .
