Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
According to the text, paid vacation tends to be more generous in Western Europe than in the United States. The other options are either untrue or cannot be inferred from the text. Stock options are linked to performance goals in both regions, pension plans are more widespread in the US and Japan but still exist in Europe, and compensation plans in other countries may include benefits.
