Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Perceived inequity occurs when an individual feels that the balance between their inputs (such as effort, skill, or time) and outputs (such as salary, benefits, or recognition) is not equal to the input-output balance of others, leading to feelings of being under-rewarded or over-rewarded.
