A sabbatical is an extended period of time off from work offered by an organization to its employees. It is meant to give employees an opportunity to rest, rejuvenate, and pursue personal or professional interests while still maintaining a connection with the organization. The learning experience during a sabbatical is often self-directed and falls outside the organization's control, as it is primarily meant to benefit the employee. Sabbaticals are generally not mandatory, but rather offered as a benefit to retain and develop talent. Therefore, statement (C) is the correct choice.
