B. 105

C. 210

D. 225

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Explanation:
The formula for determining the number of communication channels is n(n -1)/2, where n = the number of stakeholders: 15(15 -1)/2 = (15)(14)/2 = 105. It is important to note that project managers must plan the project’s communications requirements carefully,
limiting who will communicate with whom given the potential for confusion when multiple communications channels can exist.
