While option B suggests that the project manager meets with the team to discuss needs, it may still imply that the PM ultimately decides. A better approach could be C. Allowed the project team members to use the tools that will work best for them for this project. This option empowers the team to choose the tools they are most comfortable with, fostering ownership and collaboration. So, option C could be seen as a more inclusive strategy that respects team preferences.

Before deciding on the collaborative tool for the virtual team, the project manager should engage the project team to discuss on the best tool that will suit them best
