Selected Answer: A
D is not correct since: Simply including stakeholders in email communications might not be sufficient if the information provided does not meet their specific needs. It's more effective to develop a communication plan that ensures stakeholders receive the right information in the right format at the right time.

Selected Answer: B
The best approach for a project manager to avoid receiving numerous emails from different stakeholders requesting information about the project status would be Option B: Include the project stakeholders’ needs while planning the project communications strategy. This approach ensures that all stakeholders are kept informed about the project status in a manner that suits their needs and preferences. It also helps to streamline communication and prevent the project manager from being overwhelmed with individual requests for updates. This is a key aspect of effective project communication management.

B. Include the project stakeholders' needs while planning the project communications strategy. Explanation: Stakeholders are requesting project status information likely because their communication needs have not been effectively addressed. By including stakeholders' needs during the planning of the project communications strategy, the project manager ensures that relevant and timely information is provided to the stakeholders in a manner they find appropriate.
