Answer

D

Explanation

I is not advisable because of two reasons. First, it is not prudent to take action against all such employees because there may be some employees who are on leave for genuine reasons. Second, a proper enquiry must be made and a notice should be sent to such employees in this regard. Taking hasty action does not seem . judicious. In other words, course of action I is a harsh one hence not advisable. Course of action II is also not advisable on similar grounds.
