Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the incidents are well known, there are rarely any surprises, and the communication is needed only to report the number and type of incidents, a relatively low media richness communication is sufficient. Therefore, the best choice is option D - relatively low media richness. Face-to-face meetings or high emotional contagion are not necessary since the communication does not require a high degree of personal interaction or emotional involvement.
