Direct answer: Option A, trust and the work environment getting spoiled. A rumour is unverified information passed from person to person as if it may be true. When workers spread rumours, people may become suspicious, anxious, distracted, or unfairly judged. Communication becomes unreliable and cooperation suffers. Option A is correct because damaged trust and a negative workplace atmosphere are major harms. Option B is wrong because rumours do not build a real skill; they may instead waste attention. Option C is wrong because rumours usually divide a team rather than strengthen it. Option D is wrong because discussing or correcting rumours often wastes time instead of saving it. A responsible worker should check facts, speak directly to the concerned person when appropriate, protect privacy, and avoid forwarding unverified claims. Memory cue: unverified talk can weaken trust; check facts before sharing.
