Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
The size of the punisher should not be related to how long the employee has worked for the company as this is unrelated to the undesirable behavior. The most effective punishment is one that is directly linked to the behavior and administered immediately. The size or intensity of the punisher is also a factor, but it should be proportionate to the behavior being punished, not the length of employment.
