Thomas Dunlap · Answer 1

Self-Promotion.

Explanation:

The advancement barrier for Norma was Self-promotion. Most people shy away from taking credit and promoting themselves. But when an opportunity comes to promote oneself in the workplace, one should grab it.

But this self-promotion should be done healthily and not by criticisnig others, or seizing others opportunity or taking credit of others work.

In the given case, Norma had a good opportunity to promote herself and show herself worthy of the promotion that's coming soon. But she shied away to do so.

So, the correct answer is self-promotion.
