Selected Answer: B

While a stakeholder matrix can be a useful tool for identifying and categorizing stakeholders, it does not inherently provide a communication strategy. Developing a communication strategy involves going beyond stakeholder identification and explicitly defining how communication will be conducted with each stakeholder group.

It ensures that the right information is communicated to the right stakeholders at the right time and through the appropriate channels.
