I feel like option D could work, but it might slow down communication. I remember discussing the importance of timely updates in our training sessions.

I think we had a similar question in our last mock exam. If I recall correctly, delegating tasks can be effective, but I wonder if option C might lead to confusion for internal teams.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like focusing on just internal stakeholders might leave customers in the dark. Maybe option A isn't the best choice?

I remember we practiced scenarios where communication was key during incidents. I think option B makes the most sense since it covers both internal and external stakeholders.
