Question and options
Read the following passage and answer the question.
Most employees decide their own working hours, set production quotas, improve products and processes, are responsible for their own quality and for approval of leadership appointments. Every one votes on major corporate decisions and on how to split the profits.
As confidence in its novel approach has grown, Semco has happily abolished a lot more of the conventions by which businesses are usually run. No secretaries, receptionists or personal assistants. Reserved parking spaces and dining rooms, dress codes and almost all rules have gone, including those for travel and expenses.

The employees referred to are
- for essential services
- government employees
- employees of a public sector undertaking

Answer and explanation

Semco makes corporate decisions and shares its profits among its employees, which marks it as a private business, so these are employees of a private company. Nothing in the passage points to the government, a public sector undertaking or essential services.
