Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Progressive discipline seeks to avert misbehavior by correcting the behavior rather than just punishing the employee. It involves a series of steps such as verbal warnings, written warnings, suspension, and termination. The goal is to correct the behavior before it reaches a point where termination is necessary. The other choices, such as the hot-stove rule, fair representation, benchmarking, and peer review technique, do not directly address misbehavior or the corrective action process.
