Which passage is paraphrased correctly?

Below is the original text. Select which passage is paraphrased correctly.
It’s easy to see how wearable technologies such as Google Glass could quickly become annoying to workers or merely seem invasive. Sixty-six percent of millennials said they would be willing to use wearable technology if it allowed them to do their job better, while 58 percent of total workers were willing, according to a survey last year by Cornerstone OnDemand. That still leaves plenty of people uneasy at the idea of giving employers a pulse on their every move.

a.Workers are divided on the merits of wearable technology that would allow employers to track employees’ whereabouts. A recent poll by Cornerstone OnDemand found that 66 percent of millennials would use wearable technology if it improved their productivity. A smaller number of total workers (58 percent) agreed. The remaining 33-42 percent may feel uncomfortable about relentless monitoring on the job.

b.It’s not hard to envision how wearable technology, for example, Google Glass, could be seen as intrusive or even irritating. In a recent survey, 66 percent of millennials stated they would use wearable gizmos if they helped them with their jobs as opposed to 58 percent of total workers who agreed. Enough people are apprehensive about allowing employers to keep tabs on everything they do.

c.Not surprisingly, wearable technologies such as Google Glass could become annoying to workers. “Sixty-six percent of millennials said they would be willing to use wearable technology if it allowed them to do their job better, while 58 percent of total workers were willing,” according to a survey last year by Cornerstone OnDemand. That leaves plenty of people uneasy at the idea of giving employers a pulse on their every move.
