The fact that many employees in the Consumer Book Division are seeking transfers to other divisions suggests that there is a specific issue with that division. Option B, that employees consider the manager of the Consumer Book Division to be unfair, is likely the most plausible explanation for why they are seeking transfers. This would indicate a problem with management rather than with pay, channels for expressing dissatisfaction, or external factors. Option E could also be a possibility if there are confrontations and grievances that are creating a toxic work environment, but there is no evidence in the scenario to suggest this is the case.
