• D

Explanation

Co-location (D) directly improves team performance by placing team members in the same physical space, enabling real-time communication, faster problem-solving, spontaneous collaboration, and stronger interpersonal trust - all of which are proven drivers of team effectiveness.

• A (Staffing plan) is a planning tool for acquiring the right people, not for improving how an existing team works together.
• B (External feedback) can be useful for evaluation, but it's an input/assessment mechanism, not a recognized tool for actively improving team performance.
• C (Performance reports) measure outcomes after the fact - they're monitoring tools, not performance improvement interventions.

Memory tip: Think "co-location = co-operation." When teams share a space, barriers to collaboration disappear - no email delays, no time zone gaps, no communication silos. It's one of the few tools that improves performance by changing the environment itself.
