Explanation

An in-person meeting is the best approach for communicating a sensitive organizational change-such as an external person taking over leadership of a department-because it allows for direct, two-way communication, demonstrates respect and transparency, and gives employees the opportunity to ask questions and process the news in real time. Email (D) feels impersonal for significant changes. Intranet publication (B) is passive and one-directional. Videoconferencing (C) is acceptable but still less personal than face-to-face for high-impact announcements.
