Option C emphasizes communication, collaboration, and regular updates through progress reports. It creates a structure for ongoing communication between the project manager and the local company, facilitating transparency and ensuring everyone stays informed about the project's status. While both Option A and Option C are reasonable approaches, they differ slightly in their emphasis. Option A emphasizes "supervision" by the project manager, which may involve a more hands-on approach. On the other hand, Option C highlights "periodic progress reports," which promotes regular updates and a collaborative working relationship between the project manager and the local company.
