Explanation

The risk identified is communication issues with the client that could impact the project schedule. The sales team reveals the client prefers face-to-face interaction. To 'avoid' this risk means eliminating the cause entirely. By meeting the client and planning critical milestone meetings in person, the project manager directly removes the communication friction, satisfying the client's preference. This is a risk avoidance strategy. Option A only documents the risk without resolving it. Options B and C do not address the root cause effectively and could worsen the relationship.
