D) If Cashcorp's goal is to improve performance among the new branches, then clearly it needs to see if the existing criteria in fact correlate with success. So Choice D is correct: if seniority were an effective way to determine which personnel deserved rewards, one would expect the oldest branches to be the most productive ones, but this is not True. Choice B also supports the need for reassessing criteria, but less strongly, as it is possible that Foothill's reward system is different from Cashcorp's, and equally effective. Likewise, Choice C creates a specific goal for performance, but the performance criteria that Foothill has used to encourage employees to meet such goals might already be adequate. Choice A simply states a business standard that needs to be considered in light of this particular situation, and Choice E is not relevant to the issue.
