Explanation

A primary benefit of virtual project teams is cost reduction. By leveraging modern collaboration technologies (video conferencing, project management software, shared workspaces), organizations can include team members from lower-cost locations worldwide without requiring travel or relocation expenses. Ensuring appropriate behavior and security (A) relates to team ground rules and agreements, not a specific benefit of virtual teams. Virtual teams can actually increase conflict risk due to communication barriers (B). A common understanding (C) is established through kickoff meetings and project charters, not a unique benefit of virtual teams.
