Why each option
To improve meeting attendance, a project manager should practice good meeting etiquette, such as starting and ending on time.
Canceling meetings due to low attendance would remove a communication channel and not address the underlying issues causing poor attendance, thus failing to improve it.
Addressing all issues as they arise can lead to unfocused discussions and extended meeting times, which typically discourages attendance rather than improving it.
Consistently starting and ending meetings on time demonstrates respect for participants' schedules and reinforces the idea that meetings are efficient and productive, encouraging better attendance from team members who value their time.
While ending meetings when all topics are discussed is generally good practice, it does not directly solve the problem of low attendance if meetings frequently run over their scheduled duration or lack perceived value.
