Option C) Equity - This option is incorrect because the "Gang-Plank" does not specifically refer to equity. While the practice of the "Gang-Plank" can help promote a more equitable workplace by providing opportunities to deserving individuals, equity itself is not the definition of the "Gang-Plank."

This allows individuals to progress faster and potentially reach higher-level roles without going through the traditional hierarchical progression.
