Explanation

Maintaining communication and collaboration is the defining challenge for SMBs operating with remote or distributed teams, as employees across different locations lack the natural, informal interactions of a shared office, making coordination harder without the right systems in place. Option A is wrong because SMBs widely embrace flexible work - it's often a competitive advantage for attracting talent. Option C is wrong because remote teams actually reduce reliance on physical office space, not increase it. Option D is wrong because the opposite is true - remote work increases the need for digital tools like video conferencing, project management software, and messaging platforms.

Memory tip: Think "distance = disconnect" - the further apart a team is, the harder it is to stay connected, making communication the core challenge.
