Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Isolates and bystanders together make up 16% + 39% = 55% of the employees who are not actively involved in their company's affairs. Therefore, option A) is the correct answer. Option B) includes participants who are not actively involved, and option D) includes activists and diehards who are actively involved, so they are not the correct answers. Option C) only considers the percentage of activists, which is not what the question is asking for.
