Explanation:

• Physical

Two of the three types of individual differences are psychological and emotional. The third type is physical differences.

Physical is another form of individual differences and it has to do with the physical variations of human beings such as complexion like being dark or fair, height like shortness or tallness, weight like being far or slim etc.

• Person organization fit is low.

Person-organization fit has to do with how a worker is compatible with his or her organization. It shows how the employees belief, morales or values of the employee tallies along with the ethics, values or the mission of the organization.

While the person in the question likes to work in a collaborative, team-based culture, the current employer is very competitive and rewards only individual performance. This shows that the person-organization fit is low as their belief and compatibilities are different.

• A, B, C are the correct answer.

For a realistic job preview (RJP), the positive and negative aspect of the job are being outlined.

Looking at the options given, for options A,B and C, hey are all told about the positive and negative aspect of their jobs and what it entails.

Looking critically at option D,we would realise that Trisha is told only potential negative things about the job, including the smell, early hours, and frequent traffic when she was recruited as the driver for a water management company. This shows that the realistic job preview isn't followed because the positive aspect of the job wasn't told her.

Therefore, A, B, and C are the right answers.
