What type of challenge occurred when the problem employees encountered was identified and the leader selected a workable solution?

A) an adaptive challenge
B) a technical challenge
C) a technical and adaptive challenge
D) a non-challenge

A technical challenge occurs when identifying a problem and selecting a workable solution. Adaptive challenges involve changing values, beliefs, and behaviors, while technical challenges involve problem-solving and applying existing knowledge and skills. Since the problem at hand was identified and a realistic solution was selected, it does not require changes in values or beliefs. Therefore, only a technical challenge needs to be addressed.
