Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
According to Frederick W. Taylor's concept of scientific management, workers were primarily motivated by high wages, and he believed that employee productivity could be increased through financial incentives such as piece-rate pay. The other options (interesting work, friendly treatment, participation in decision making, clean and safe working conditions) were not considered as important to workers' motivation by Taylor.
