Answer to Question 1

Answer: D
Explanation: D) The rumor mill tends to be more active when the formal communication network is not providing the information employees need and want. People feel more comfortable and secure with strong communication. If that breaks down, people will look to informal sources. The other answers don't relate to how a rumor mill works.
