Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Email is a preferred medium for coordinating work as it allows for quick communication and collaboration across different locations and time zones. It also minimizes status differences as all employees can have equal access to email communication. However, it can also be a source of information overload as emails can pile up quickly and require constant management. The other options may have some benefits but do not fit as well with the criteria mentioned in the question.
