Thoroughly researching the donors, their backgrounds, and the project will help José tailor his presentation to their interests and needs, making it more effective. It will also demonstrate to the donors that he has taken the time to understand their perspective and interests. Reviewing the presentation and practicing the delivery can also be helpful, but arriving just before the presentation may lead to added stress and missed opportunities to build relationships with the donors. Therefore, A is the best choice.
