Final Answer : C, Explanation :  Accepting shyness as an excuse for lack of participation is not good training practice. Instead, trainers should look for ways to encourage participation while also being aware and respectful of individual differences and learning styles. Active participation is essential for effective learning, and it is the trainers' responsibility to create a safe and supportive environment that encourages trainees to participate.
