The best approach in this situation is B. The project manager should try to align and agree with the stakeholder on the communication approach. It is essential to understand the stakeholder's perspective and preferences, and work together to find a communication approach that satisfies everyone. This can be done by having a conversation with the stakeholder and discussing the advantages and disadvantages of different communication methods. It is important to consider that stakeholders can have different levels of technical expertise and preferred modes of communication, and their opinions should be taken into account
