Answer to Question 1

Answer: A
Explanation: A) Over the years, email began to be used for many communication tasks simply because it was the only widely available digital format for written messages and millions of users were comfortable with it. Email is not usually the best choice for conversational communication (IM is better) or project management discussions and updates.
