A) Persuasion involves influencing a recipient to agree with an idea or take action. If you can show your boss research that documents increased productivity in the workplace resulting from a flex-time schedule, she might be convinced to implement it. The other choices do less to show your boss why this idea is a good idea from her point of view. While knowing the interest level in the office is relevant, if you cannot show your boss that the idea is desirable from her perspective, you will not be able to convince her.
