Final Answer : D, Explanation :  The primary reason why almost half the workers in the United States fail to blow the whistle to report wrongdoings they observe at work is the belief that no corrective action would be taken. This creates a culture of silence and discourages employees from speaking up, as they do not see the point in reporting if no action is taken. A lack of belief in the effectiveness of the reporting system is a significant barrier to whistleblowing.
