Correct Answer: Informal communication


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Informal communication

The CEO valuing open communication and encouraging employees to share their ideas and concerns represents an informal communication approach. Informal communication is characterized by free-flowing and unstructured exchanges of information, ideas, and concerns within an organization. It often occurs spontaneously and is not bound by formal channels or hierarchy. In this scenario, the CEO's encouragement for open communication implies a culture that fosters informal communication, allowing employees to freely share their thoughts and opinions.
