Explanation

The paragraph states that Generation Xers 'tend to be more challenged when they can carry out tasks independently' and calls them entrepreneurial. This supports the conclusion that they tend to be self-directed workers. Option A incorrectly compares work effort across generations. Option C misreads 'entrepreneurial' as interest in history. Option D assumes entrepreneurship equals risk-taking. Option E misinterprets 'challenged' as challenging others.
