Final Answer : A, Explanation :  When most or all of a salesperson's compensation is in the form of commissions, the salesperson is encouraged to focus on closing the sale and generating revenue for the company, as their income is directly tied to their performance. This may lead to more aggressive sales tactics or a focus on short-term goals rather than long-term customer relationships.
