Explanation:

The question may seem tricky at first glance. Here, Sayed believes that Palani was transferred due to his poor performance in the previous branch. Thus, he fears that Palani's transfer may pull down the performance of the branch. Any option that can state that the performance of the branch will not suffer due to Palani will help in assuaging Sayed’s fear. [2], [3] and [4] do not help in this. Between [1] and [5], the former is a better choice as it implies that irrespective of the employees who joined his team, Satyender has exceeded targets every time in the past twelve years. Thus, even if Palani does not perform well, it is possible that the performance of the branch will not suffer. Though [5] appears close, it does not address the fear of Sayed that Palani's transfer may affect the performance of the branch in a negative manner.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
