The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

The problem is mainly of ‘underrepresentation’. If a type of person or thing is underrepresented in a group or organisation, there are not enough of them in it. So, C directly addresses it.

While options A, B, D, and E are all valuable and should be considered as part of a comprehensive diversity and inclusion strategy, option C of implementing equal opportunity policies and practices in recruitment and promotion processes is the most foundational and effective step in promoting diversity and inclusivity within the organisation.
