At the project closing meeting, you only awarded incentive bonuses to two team members. A client who was present asked why only two team members were provided reward bonuses. What did you miss while defining rewards and recognition?

A) You didn't realize recognizing cultural differences may offend people.    
B) You defined objectives on work that was supposed to performed.        
C) You set criteria for rewards that made the team over confident.    
D) You made the targets unachievable on the project.

Hint: Team recognition should be based on individual tasks that are achievable and clear.
