AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) The interview will provide the opportunity to provide feedback and motivate employees. Employee appraisal interviews are important because they give managers the opportunity to provide constructive feedback to employees, recognize their strengths, and identify areas for improvement. This open communication can help motivate employees, improve performance, and foster a positive work environment. The other answer choices are incorrect because they do not capture the primary purpose of an employee appraisal interview, which is to facilitate meaningful feedback and employee development, not to establish command authority, instill fear, or communicate repercussions.
