Correct answer: C
Explanation
When a geographically distributed team has development issues between colocated and virtual members causing decreased productivity, the project manager should develop protocols for resolving conflicts between team members. Establishing ground rules and conflict resolution standards creates common behavioral expectations across all locations. Obtaining special expertise (A) adds external help but does not address internal team dynamics. Setting up face-to-face meetings (B) may be impractical. Forcing colocation (D) may be infeasible and costly.
