Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Recruiting plans that involve lateral transfers are not directly related to retaining or recruiting employees. This option is more related to internal mobility practices within the organization. The other options directly address the recruiting and retention objectives of the firm, such as retaining current talent, creating creative compensation and benefits programs, improving recruitment practices, and anticipating workforce growth.
