The correct answer is D. All of the above.

Explanation

According to the situation presented, Thom decides to hire his secretary, who is rumored to be his girlfriend. To begin with, this is partial or biased because he ignores his duties as vice president of human resources to consider all applications and choose the one that best suits the profile necessary, and instead he arbitrary assigns the position to its secretary exclusively because of its proximity. Besides this, this action caused disappointment in the other candidates because Thom did not select Ralph and Darius who had the experience and knowledge for the position. Moreover, Thom's selection ignores the criteria of merit, because it does not consider the experience, education, skills and professional profile for the position, only to benefit a close person as his secretary/girlfriend. So, the correct answer is D. All of the above.
