The correct answer is B. a theory of motivation holding that people are naturally responsible, growth oriented, self-motivated, and interested in being productive

According to theory Y, the workers are internally motivated and their satisfaction with the job comes from their own will. These types of workers don't need supervision since they will always strive to make the best possible product because they appreciate the company and their work and want to be the best version of themselves.
