Answer to Question 1

B
Explanation: B) Communicating the logic of a change can reduce employee resistance on two levels. First, it fights the effects of misinformation and poor communication: if employees receive the full facts and clear up misunderstandings, resistance should subside. Second, communication can help sell the need for change by packaging it properly.
