Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Introducing job rotation would help to overcome the boredom and repetitive strain injury experienced by the employees. It will allow them to perform different tasks and gain more skills, thereby making them more multiskilled. This will also help to prevent monotony and burnout. Mental imagery and gainsharing plans may not directly address the issue of job boredom and repetitive strain injury. Introducing job specialization and job enrichment may not be feasible due to the nature of the company's technology.
