In employment, which set of actions reflects the described approach: accountability, seeking help, and maintaining good relationships?

• A. Always act independently and never ask for help.
• B. Ignore feedback and blame others.
• C. Focus on personal gain.
• D. Be accountable, seek help when needed, and maintain a good relationship with others.

Answer: (D)

Taking ownership of your work means accountability—you own the outcomes, admit mistakes when they happen, and communicate honestly about what you need to meet expectations. Seeking help when you’re unsure or overloaded shows good judgment and helps ensure tasks are completed correctly and on time. Maintaining respectful, collaborative relationships with colleagues and supervisors builds trust, reduces friction, and supports better teamwork overall. Put together, these actions reflect a professional approach focused on responsibility, collaboration, and clear communication. Behaviors that don’t fit—acting entirely independently without asking for support, ignoring feedback and blaming others, or chasing only personal gain—undermine trust and teamwork.
