Suggested Answer: B 🗳️
Answer option B is correct.
Working from home-based offices is actually a benefit of a virtual team, not a disadvantage.
Answer option D is incorrect. Different languages among the virtual team can create communication challenges for Jen and the project team.
Answer option C is incorrect. Operating with different time zones can create challenges for communications and team meetings.
Answer option A is incorrect. Face-to-face communication is one of the best approaches for communicating, but virtual teams can't take advantage of face-to-face communications as easily as a collocated team.
