Source 1: A recent study indicates that companies implementing flexible work schedules report 15% higher employee retention rates compared to those with traditional office setups. Source 2: Company Z, which strictly requires all employees to work from its central office five days a week, has a 20% higher employee turnover rate than the industry average. Which of the following can be most reasonably concluded from the information provided?

A Company Z's high turnover is solely due to its lack of flexible work schedules.
B Implementing flexible work schedules would likely improve Company Z's employee retention.
C The industry average turnover rate is less than 20% for companies with flexible work schedules.
D Companies with flexible work schedules never experience high employee turnover.

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

Source 1 links flexible schedules to higher retention. Source 2 describes Company Z's traditional setup and high turnover. It's reasonable to infer that adopting flexible schedules, as suggested by Source 1, would likely mitigate Company Z's turnover problem, thus improving retention.
