Explanation

To address disengagement in a virtual team, a project manager should foster personal connections and team cohesion through one-to-one and team-building meetings.

Common mistakes.

A. While meeting fatigue can contribute to disengagement, reducing all meetings without understanding the root cause might hinder necessary communication and coordination.
C. Reviewing and reducing workload might be a solution if workload is the specific cause of disengagement, but it's not the first general approach before understanding the specific reasons for disengagement.
D. Giving team members days off is a reactive measure for stress reduction, but it does not address the underlying issues of disengagement or build long-term team cohesion.
