D Correct answer
Explanation

The problem asks for the central angle of the Operations department, which is 30% of the total. 30% of 360 degrees is 108 degrees.

AI explanation

Moving 30% of employees from each department to Operations means Operations receives 30% of the company's total 5000 employees. Using the central angle formula, multiply the percentage fraction by 360 degrees: 0.30 times 360 equals 108 degrees.
