Explanation

A video conference is the best option because it combines real-time verbal communication with visual capability. When troubleshooting a physical (tangible) deliverable, the engineer can show the remote team members the malfunction on camera, allowing them to visually assess the problem and provide precise guidance. A phone call lacks the visual element needed for a physical issue. Face-to-face is ideal but impossible since team members are remote. Instant messaging is asynchronous and cannot convey physical/visual details effectively. Video conference bridges the gap between in-person collaboration and remote availability.
