B seems correct. The project manager should identify tasks that require input from team members in different time zones and adjust the schedule to ensure that team members in one time zone have the information they need to complete their tasks when they start work.

B is the right answer, since asynchronous collaboration seems to be an issue, effective planning and assignment of tasks will be the best approach.

Question is not about communication. It is about how effectively you are scheduling the task to minimize or avoid dependency

In the famous "golden hours" you could maybe resolve a few questions through direct communication but that is not a substancial approach so improved planning and scheduling is the better option from a systematic point of view
