Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
In group B, each food server is directly responsible for their own tips and therefore has a personal stake in putting forth effort to provide good service. In the other groups, the individuals may feel less pressure to put forth effort because their contributions are not directly linked to personal gain or success.
