​The ways to address agency costs include all EXCEPT

A) ​advertising for employee positions in as many outlets as possible
B) requiring employees to punch time clocks
C) spot checks of the quality of employee work
D) ​replacing closed offices with cubical office spaces

Agency costs are expenses incurred due to the problems that arise from a conflict of interest in a principal-agent relationship. The options B, C, and D are methods to monitor or improve employee performance and reduce agency costs by ensuring that employees are working efficiently and effectively. However, A (advertising for employee positions in as many outlets as possible) is not a method to address agency costs; it is related to recruitment strategies and does not directly impact the monitoring or alignment of employee interests with those of the organization.
