Why each option

Employers protect their assets and limit legal liability by providing employees written statements that clearly define the scope and boundaries of workplace surveillance and monitoring activities.

AEmployers promote monitoring activities of employees as long as the employees demonstrate

Monitoring is not contingent on employee behavior or demonstration of trustworthiness; policies apply uniformly and must be disclosed in advance.

BEmployers use informal verbal communication channels to explain employee monitoring activities

Informal verbal communication is insufficient for legal protection and does not constitute enforceable notice - written documentation is required.

CEmployers use network surveillance to monitor employee email traffic, network access, and to

While network surveillance is a common monitoring tool, simply using it without providing written disclosure to employees does not constitute a proper protective security policy.

DEmployers provide employees written statements that clearly discuss the boundaries ofCorrect

Written acceptable-use and monitoring policies establish explicit notice to employees that surveillance may occur, which is a legal and ethical requirement in many jurisdictions. This written disclosure protects the employer's right to monitor while ensuring employees are aware of the boundaries, reducing both legal exposure and misunderstandings about privacy expectations.
