A donor promises new equipment if a student committee selects the donor's preferred, school-approved design. The committee is free to decline and keep its current equipment. The donor has no formal decision role. What is the best classification?
A
An incentive, because a new benefit is offered conditionally for a choice.
B
Authority, because the donor's resources create a rightful command.
C
Persuasion, because the equipment itself is an argument about design quality.
D
Coercion, because declining any offer consistently produces a threatened loss.
