Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
McGregor's Theory Y assumes that employees are motivated, self-directed, and responsible. Therefore, delegation, job enlargement, and participative management are strategies that allow employees to take on more responsibility, have more autonomy, and be involved in decision making, which aligns with the assumptions of Theory Y. The other choices may include some strategies that are consistent with Theory Y, but they also include others that are not necessarily aligned with it.
