Answer:

The correct answer is letter "D": motivational factors.

Explanation:

American psychologist Frederick Herzberg (1923-2000) formulated the motivator-hygiene theory which is a motivational approach that states there are factors in the workplace that cause satisfaction and some others that cause dissatisfaction.
