A Correct answer
Explanation

Excessive work specialization creates human diseconomies. Workers experience stress from repetitive, monotonous tasks (1). Quality suffers because disengaged workers make errors and take less pride (2). Absenteeism increases as workers avoid dissatisfying tasks (3). High turnover results as workers leave for more fulfilling jobs (4). All four are documented consequences.
