Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: C) The best medium for your report is largely based on your audience's preferences. If your audience expects a routine text document with no bells and whistles, then that is what you should give them. If your audience prefers to see graphs, charts, photos, and other visuals, you should provide those things for them.
