Which one of the following is the CORRECT logical inference based on the information in the above passage?

The passage explicitly states:

• *"In organizations with good work culture, metrics help improve outcomes."*

• *"However, the same metrics are counterproductive in organizations with poor work culture."*

From these statements:

• (B) directly follows from the passage because helping improve outcomes means that metrics are useful in organizations with a good work culture.

• (A) is incorrect because metrics are stated to be *counterproductive* in organizations with poor work culture.

• (C) and (D) are incorrect because metrics help improve outcomes (i.e., they are useful, not counterproductive) in organizations with good work culture.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
