answer explanation: 

<p>The new regulations <u>with regard to</u> appropriate use of office supplies apply to all employees, even those in the ranks of upper management.</p>

<p>The phrase "with regard to" is the correct choice in this sentence. This phrase is used to indicate that the new regulations are specifically related to or concerning the appropriate use of office supplies. It shows that the regulations are about or with respect to this particular topic.</p>

<p>Option (A) "according to" is not the best choice because it implies that the new regulations are based on someone's opinion or viewpoint, rather than being specifically related to the appropriate use of office supplies.</p>

<p>Option (C) "in terms of" is not the best choice because it is typically used to compare or describe something in relation to a specific aspect or factor, rather than indicating that the regulations themselves are about the appropriate use of office supplies.</p>

<p>Option (D) "in view of" is not the best choice because it is typically used to introduce a reason or justification for something, rather than indicating that the regulations themselves are about the appropriate use of office supplies.</p>
