When a supervisor successfully gets an employee to accept responsibility for carrying out a task, both the employee and the supervisor become responsible for the work. The employee is responsible for completing the task and the supervisor is responsible for providing support, guidance, and feedback throughout the process. This approach fosters accountability and collaboration, which leads to better performance and improved individual skills for the employee.

Option C is also incorrect as the employee has the scope to improve individual skills through the guidance and feedback of the supervisor.
