Explanation

Email is a 'push' communication method - the sender transmits information outward but has no guarantee that the recipient has read, understood, or acknowledged it. This is referred to as one-way or non-interactive communication. In contrast, telephone (A), videoconference (B), and face-to-face meetings (C) are all interactive, two-way communication methods where the sender receives immediate feedback and can confirm the message was received and understood. Email is commonly used for broadcast-style project communications precisely because of its one-way nature, but that also means delivery and comprehension cannot be confirmed.
