Question 7. Which of the following best paraphrases the underlined sentence in paragraph 3?

When metric targets dictate cadence, the space for human discretion narrows, unless organizations deliberately scaffold transparency, reversible decisions, and appeals.

A. When dashboard-driven routines accelerate workflow tempo, supervisory discretion widens automatically because governance structures inevitably attenuate transparency and undermine reversible determinations’ utility.

B. Whenever executive leadership disregards quantitative benchmarks entirely, supervisory discretion expands dramatically because organizations already automated transparency features and eliminated appeal requirements.

C. As targets transition to aspirational guidance, discretionary latitude increases provided companies discourage transparency, restrict reversibility pathways, and close appeal channels preserving velocity.

D. If quantitative thresholds govern operational pacing, supervisory judgment becomes constrained absent deliberate investments in explicable architectures, revocable determinations, and formal contestation mechanisms.
