Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
A three-week rotational schedule would allow employees to have a regular sleep pattern, which would help them remain in a more normal biological rhythm. Soft lighting, caffeine, and vitamin supplements may have some benefits, but they would not be as effective as a regular sleep pattern for ensuring employees' well-being. Additionally, providing machines with choices of many beverages with caffeine may negatively affect employees' sleeping patterns.
