Option A: Wrong
Yes, but this statement signifies a position of strength to the firm and it is adjudged that to be a successful business entity, you must connect with people both locally and internationally.
Option B: Wrong
The statement here, is justifiably correct but speaks fancifully about the benefits accruing only to the undertakers of the business travels which is not entirely correct.
Option C: Wrong
This statement is generally correct but not appropriately applicable in all ramification as it may be dutiful of the persons undertaking it to mandatorily embark on such journeys.
Option D: Wrong
This is speculative in terms of the numbers as it cannot be verified.
Option E: Right
The statement in this option seeks to justify why the new business model is vacuous and may not work because of the need to indulge non-verbal communication strategies in order to succeed especially during proposals and presentations.
