Allowing the local management team to develop plans for an alternative celebration in consultation with national leaders and other local personnel is the best option. This shows respect for the national holiday and allows for a celebration that fits the local culture and traditions. It also allows for input from all relevant parties to ensure the celebration is appropriate and well-received. Option A is not feasible as a personal visit by the CEO may not be possible due to logistics and time constraints. Option B may not be well-received as it implies that the company did not respect the local traditions. Option D is too rigid and does not allow for local input. Option E is too vague and may not result in an appropriate alternative celebration.
