Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Separating individual and organizational goals can actually increase political behavior because it might lead to conflicts of interest and a lack of alignment between what employees want and what the organization aims to achieve. Building trust, creating a climate of openness, measuring performance results, and trying job rotation are all strategies that can help reduce political behavior by fostering a transparent and fair work environment.
