Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer D

In Frederick Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory, hygiene factors (such as company policy, supervision, working conditions, and salary) are extrinsic to the job, whereas motivators are intrinsic, making Statement I incorrect. Douglas McGregor's Theory 'Y' represents an optimistic and participative view of human nature where workers are self-motivated and accept responsibility, making Statement II correct; hence 'I incorrect, II correct'.
