B Correct answer
Explanation

In a workplace context, 'cocky' means arrogantly confident or conceited - inappropriate for someone junior. Option B is correct because being too cocky suggests overconfidence that doesn't match one's position level. Options A, C, and D describe generally positive or neutral traits, but 'cocky' specifically captures the negative overconfidence that would be problematic in a junior role.
