C. She will strictly control all the details of any project she is managing.

Explanation:

Theory X: In psychology, the term "theory x" was proposed by a social psychologist named Douglas McGregor during the 1950s and 1960s. However, he has also mentioned, "theory y" along with the "theory x" that are being described as two contrasting and different sets of assumptions that a manager tends to make about his or her people. Theory X includes people who generally dislike a piece of work, possess low ambition, and aren't willing to take responsibilities.
