Articulated dissent is when employees openly express their disagreement, while latent dissent is when employees keep their disagreement to themselves. The phrase "longer tenure" suggests that people who have been with the organization for a longer time are more likely to openly express disagreement (articulated dissent) because they have more experience with the company and are more confident in their positions. The phrase "feel more freedom in the workplace" suggests that people who feel free to share their opinions without fear of retribution are more likely to openly express disagreement (articulated dissent) whereas those who do not feel as free to share their opinions are more likely to keep their disagreements to themselves (latent dissent). Therefore, the best choice is B, where longer tenure is associated with articulated dissent, and feeling more freedom in the workplace is associated with articulated dissent.
