d) Marcy's responsibility report should include a detailed account of the individual items for which she is personally responsible.

Explanation:

Responsibility report is the report that is prepared by a manager in regards for processes that they are responsible for. In this case the 3 departments are the responsibility of Marcy.

The same is true for the other managers.

So when Marcy is preparing her responsibility report she is not reporting her own personal performance. Rather she will report the performance of the 3 departments she is supervising.

The quality of the responsibility report is a function of how well she has supervised the departments in meeting organisational goals.
