Selected Answer: D

Why the other options are less effective: A. Check with the IT department to see if there is a technical issue: This may help in isolated cases, but it's not a proactive or scalable approach to prevent future communication issues. B. Confirm the time zone and work days in each location: Important for scheduling, but it doesn’t address how stakeholders prefer to communicate, which is the main issue here. C. Assume the meeting request is accepted unless declined: This is risky and unprofessional; it can lead to misunderstandings or missed meetings, especially with asynchronous teams.
