Option 1: "productivity"

Explanation: The text concludes with the statement that 76 percent of respondents felt that working from home led to increased productivity. This directly supports the option 'productivity' as the missing word, aligning perfectly with the main idea of the text, which emphasizes the benefits of homeworking.

Option 3: "emphasis"

Explanation: The word 'emphasis' does not relate to the context of the sentence, which focuses on the outcomes of working from home. The text does not discuss emphasizing any particular aspect, making this option irrelevant.

Option 4: "needs"

Explanation: The option 'needs' does not correspond with the context of the text, which highlights the benefits of working from home rather than addressing any needs. This option fails to connect with the main idea of increased productivity.
