As a Theory Y supporter, the supervisor believes that the employee will be internally motivated and will thrive on having control and autonomy in their job. This is in contrast to Theory X, which assumes that employees need to be closely supervised and motivated primarily by extrinsic rewards. Therefore, option D is the best choice as it aligns with the supervisor's Theory Y approach.
