Why each option

The three PMI-recognized communication methods are interactive, push, and pull communication - each suited to different scenarios and audience sizes.

AInteractive communication, push communication, interpersonal communication

Interpersonal communication is not one of the three PMI communication method categories; this option omits pull communication and incorrectly substitutes an unlisted term.

BInteractive communication, push communication, pull communicationCorrect

PMI defines three communication methods: interactive communication (two-way exchange such as meetings and calls), push communication (one-way delivery to specific recipients such as emails and reports), and pull communication (information made available for recipients to access at their discretion such as portals and knowledge bases). Together these three cover all effective project communication scenarios.

CPush communication, pull communication, interpersonal communication

This option omits interactive communication and incorrectly includes interpersonal communication as a separate method category.

DPull communication, interactive communication, interpersonal communication

This option omits push communication and incorrectly includes interpersonal communication as one of the three method categories.
