Explanation

Conference calls are the best option for a geographically distributed team because they enable real-time, synchronous communication with all team members simultaneously, regardless of location. One-on-one conversations (A) do not scale well across large, multi-region teams and make it difficult to ensure everyone receives the same information at the same time. Social media (B) is informal, unreliable for professional project communication, and not universally appropriate in a corporate context. Instant messaging (C) is asynchronous and fragmented - it lacks the structure needed for group alignment and may exclude participants in different time zones. Conference calls allow the PM to schedule a single session (choosing a time that overlaps across regions) and involve all stakeholders together, minimizing scheduling overhead while maintaining inclusive, consistent communication.
