• D

Explanation

A Webinar satisfies both requirements simultaneously: it's synchronous (everyone participates in real time) and economical for geographically dispersed participants, eliminating travel costs while allowing live demonstration and Q&A.

• Option A (email blueprints) is asynchronous - managers read at different times with no real-time discussion, and it doesn't allow live demonstration.
• Option B (in-person meeting) is synchronous but the least economical option due to international travel costs, lodging, and lost productivity time.
• Option D (post to website + individual calls) is inefficient - calling each manager separately multiplies Roberto's time investment and still doesn't allow group discussion.

Memory tip: When a question asks for synchronous + economical + geographically distributed, think "Web = wide reach, no travel bill." A webinar is essentially a virtual meeting room - real-time like a meeting, cheap like a website post.
