Among the options provided, the one that would NOT be an example of a simulation is:
d. participants are asked to imagine that they are a human resources director charged with ranking employee profiles on how well they will fit in with the current group of employees.

Instead, it involves an individual mental exercise where participants are simply imagining a scenario and making decisions based on that imagination, without the interactive or role-playing elements that are characteristic of simulations.
