b. assign Maggie to a highly structured job requiring greater compliance

Explanation:

People who exhibit an external locus of control believe that life successes and failures are as a result of external factors such as bias, fate, injustice, luck and circumstances.

Maggie's manager noticed this trait in her and assigning Maggie to a highly structured job requiring greater compliance will make it possible for her to be more exposed and reduce her from attributing her effort to be based on mere luck.
