A procedure is a series of steps or actions that need to be followed in order to achieve a specific outcome. Option D specifies that the store manager requires all employees to clean their workstations at the end of each shift, indicating a clear, consistent, and repeatable set of actions (steps) that employees must follow, which is the essence of a procedure.
