If Michel Foucault were to observe this workplace interaction, he would say that the person with the clipboard is the assembly line worker.

d. surveilling

Explanation:

Michel Foucault's theory of surveillance describes a type of supervision activity that is present in the bodies of the modern organizations that include hierarchy.

The architecture of the organization as well as the system of the functioning is made in a way that all the aspect of the organization is under the surveillance of some kind.

This also happens at the work organizations, such as one posted in the example of the question.

In this example, we can see the case of direct surveillance and supervision, in which a person is directly observing the behavior of the subjects and noting it done. The workers are in their specially architectured places, working, and they are supposed to be absorbed in the work. The person on the clipboard is surveilling them and taking notes of their work, interaction, and keeping them alert.
