Solution

The false statement according to Karl Marx's theory is:

d. Owners motivate workers by offering incentives.

According to Marx, in a capitalist system, owners (or the bourgeoisie) exploit workers (the proletariat) by paying them less than the value of their labor. He did not believe that owners motivate workers by offering incentives. Instead, he argued that workers are compelled to work under the existing conditions because they have no other choice to survive.
