Starting useful work without instructions shows which quality?

Correct answer: Initiative

The direct answer is A, initiative. Initiative means starting a useful and suitable activity by oneself instead of waiting for someone to give every instruction. Reasoning step by step: the person notices work that needs to be done; the person decides to act; the person begins responsibly and contributes to the team. This independent, constructive start is initiative. Option A is correct because it names the quality of taking the first useful step. Option B, dependency, means needing others to guide or help before acting, so it is the opposite. Option C, laziness, means avoiding effort and delaying work; starting useful work does not show laziness. Option D, unwillingness, means not wanting to cooperate or work, which is also contrary to the situation. Initiative does not mean acting carelessly or breaking rules: the work should be safe, relevant and within one’s responsibility. Memory cue: see a useful task, think responsibly, start appropriately—initiative.
