Option A is the best choice as it allows for a private and formal setting to deliver the news to Gregory with the support of a human resources representative. This ensures that all necessary paperwork and relevant information is provided and the termination is handled in a professional manner. Option B is not appropriate in this situation as it may not be appropriate to recognize someone who has been charged with theft. Option C is also not appropriate as delivering such news over the phone is unprofessional and does not allow for proper documentation. Option D is not the best choice as it puts both Gregory and staff members in a potentially unsafe situation if he becomes agitated or upset.
