Answer: A

Explanation:

From the Agile Manifesto: "The most efficient and effective method of conveying information to and within a development team is face-to-face conversation." If possible, setting up at least one initial face-to-face meeting for everyone will improve remote communications and trust later in the project. Once people have met face-to-face, it is generally much easier to follow up with e-mail, phone calls, etc. Defining common working hours or a common language seems to be helpful, but these actions might be uncomfortable or not welcome. Having photos in the account profiles is good but it is just scratching the surface.
