A merit increase is a pay raise given to employees based on their performance, so it is the best choice to fill in the blank. A bonus is typically a one-time payment, commissions are usually tied to sales performance, and piecework is a type of compensation based on the number of items produced or tasks completed. None of these options fit the context of the sentence as well as a merit increase.
