I think I read somewhere that organizations should definitely communicate their whistleblower procedures, but I'm not sure if they should keep it completely internal like option C suggests.

I feel pretty confident about this one. Option D is clearly the best answer - organizations need to have clear policies and consequences in place to deter retaliation against whistleblowers. The other options don't seem to address the core issue.
