D Correct answer
Explanation

Office politics create distrust, resentment, and unfairness, which severely damage employee motivation. The other options - minimal rules, praise, and clear communication - are all positive practices that support motivation. A political environment where success depends on relationships rather than merit demotivates employees who value fairness and meritocracy.
