Electronic communication, such as email or instant messaging, is useful when a fast response time is needed. It allows for quick and efficient communication without the need for face-to-face interaction.

Answer: B 
 Electronic communication can increase the amount of oral interaction between organizational members by facilitating communication between individuals who may not have had the opportunity to communicate in person.

Answer: C 
 Electronic communication can be effective for team members working in different locations, as it allows for communication to take place without the need for travel.
