The correct answer is C.

The Rowan scheme is a piece-rate incentive plan in which workers are paid a base rate plus a bonus for production in excess of a standard. The bonus is calculated as a proportion of the time saved, or the difference between the standard time and the actual time taken to complete the job.

Option A is incorrect because the bonus is not paid as a proportion of standard time to actual time. The bonus is paid as a proportion of time saved to standard time.

Option B is incorrect because the bonus is not paid as a proportion of actual time to standard time. The bonus is paid as a proportion of time saved to standard time.

Option D is incorrect because the bonus is not paid as a proportion of standard time to time saved. The bonus is paid as a proportion of time saved to standard time.
