Explanation

Option B is correct because a supervisor's primary responsibility in the training process is to bridge the gap between learning and workplace performance - ensuring employees not only understand new knowledge but actively apply it on the job. This is the core definition of training effectiveness: measurable behavior change, not just attendance or awareness.

Why the distractors are wrong:

A (Enhancing their own skills) - Self-development is a personal goal for supervisors, not a training effectiveness function directed at staff.
C (Investing in new technologies) - Technology decisions are typically a management or organizational function, not a supervisory training role.
D (Networking with industry leaders) - Networking serves strategic or professional development purposes, unrelated to ensuring staff apply their training.

Memory tip: Think of the supervisor as a transfer agent - their job is to transfer training from the classroom to the workplace. Ask yourself: "Who checks that learning sticks?" That's the supervisor, making B the natural answer.
