• A. Coaching
• B. Feedback
• C. Mentoring
• D. Performance Appraisal

Answer: (B)

Providing clear, direct information on how well employees are performing is feedback. It’s the process of informing someone about the results of their work relative to expectations in a timely, specific, and actionable way. This helps them understand what they’re doing well and what to adjust to improve. Coaching is more about guiding ongoing skill development through dialogue and practice, not just reporting current performance. Mentoring focuses on long-term career guidance and growth, not immediate performance specifics. A formal performance appraisal is a structured, periodic evaluation that rates performance, which may be less frequent and less immediate than the direct, actionable information conveyed through feedback.
