Explanation

The scenario explicitly describes a hostile takeover - one company forcibly acquiring another - which is the definition of a corporate acquisition (B). The resulting directive to use video conferencing is a consequence of the acquisition (cost savings from the new parent company), not a separate category. Outsourcing (A) means contracting work to an external party. Internal reorganization (C) happens within a single organization. Process change (D) refers to altering workflows. Relocation (E) involves physically moving. Resource management (F) refers to managing people and assets. The root event described is clearly a corporate acquisition.
