Explanation

Collaborative behavior does not require constant vocal communication-it means team members are aligned, trust each other, and work effectively toward shared goals. A well-established team that has worked together for years may have developed implicit communication patterns and shared understanding that make frequent verbalization unnecessary. Synchronous (A) describes timing of communication. Passive-aggressive (C) implies hidden resistance with surface compliance, but there is no indication of that here. Random (D) describes uncoordinated behavior, which contradicts on-time delivery.
