Solution : The correct answer is (d) In-basket exercise

An in-basket exercise is an example of a situational selection tool. In an in-basket exercise, candidates are presented with a simulated work situation involving a collection of documents, emails, memos, and other items that they must review, prioritize, and respond to within a specified time frame. This exercise assesses candidates' ability to analyze information, make decisions, manage time, and demonstrate other relevant skills within a realistic work context. In-basket exercises involve handling a collection of work-related documents and items to simulate a realistic work scenario. Candidates must analyze the information, prioritize tasks, make decisions, and respond appropriately within a specified time frame. This exercise directly assesses candidates' ability to handle situational work scenarios.
