Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (B) Metrics are useful in organizations with good work culture

Explanation

The passage explicitly connects good work culture with metrics helping improve outcomes. Hence B follows directly. A contradicts the stated poor-culture outcome, while C and D reverse the stated effect in organizations with good culture. No additional assumption about metrics is needed.
