a. Incentives are a way to distribute success among those not responsible for producing that success.

Explanation:

Since incentives usually rely on performance, if an employee is not responsible for producing success, they are not likely be rewarded with incentives.

As for the other alternatives, incentives attract top performers who are confident in their abilities to succeed and thus have a higher pay; they are also a means to justly reward employees and turn focus to specific performance. targets
