Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: B

Explanation

In collocated project management structures, team members are often physically close to one another and in close proximity, leading to an informal and unconscious exchange of information. This type of communication is referred to as "osmotic communication." It occurs when team members are constantly in each other's presence and information is passively absorbed without the need for formal or intentional communication. This type of communication is distinct from formal communication, which is often structured and deliberate, and from verbal or written communication, which is more formal and intentional. AFM13
