(A) the inability to observe employees closely

Explanation:

By isolating themselves with the employees, the managers created a situation where employees could do various activities that is outside their job description without being found out. (such as playing with their phones, browsing through social media, etc).

If they do not create a method to prevent this, it will most likely lead to the reduction of company's overall productivity. One way that the managers can do to still watch over the employees through the closed doors is by installing a camera at strategic locations throughout the room.
