(B) is correct. Other teams collaborating on the database task produced duplicated uploads under different names.

(C) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: It needed confidential approval from directors.

Associated Text:

(B) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: It increases printing costs.

(C) is incorrect. The recording does not support this option: It makes teams too settled.

Associated Text:
flexible working is valuable, but only when properly targeted, otherwise it wastes the resource that companies value most: time.
