Which term refers to a person who can serve as a wise advisor for an employee?

• A. A human resources staff member
• B. A skilled tradesperson
• C. A person who can serve as a wise advisor for an employee
• D. A person who supervises manufacturing

Answer: (C)

Mentorship and advisory guidance are about a trusted guide who helps an employee grow, sharing experience, giving feedback, and supporting career development. The term that directly captures this role is someone who can serve as a wise advisor for an employee—the person described as able to act in that advisory capacity. That option aligns with the idea of guiding and coaching, not just performing duties or managing tasks. The other options describe specific roles (an HR staff member, a skilled tradesperson, or a supervisor) that don’t inherently focus on providing ongoing wisdom and career guidance. So, the choice that explicitly defines the advisor role is the best fit.
