Confusing grammar

Help me to choose the right answer pls:

..... our employees the best way to improve their productivity.

A. Show

B. Showed

C. Showing

D. To show


I think the answer is A because this sentence doesn't have complement right? But how about "To show" in which situation that I can use it?

Thank you!

"A" is the only answer that would make it a grammatical sentence. It ( show ) would be the main verb in the imperative mood. "To show" and "Showing" are possible if you just want to write a bullet point or a heading, not a sentence.
