Respuesta :

Answer: C) A businesswoman is able to use internet conferencing with clients instead of having to travel to the meeting in person.

Explanation:

Business productivity has grown in leaps and bounds as a result of computers and the internet and one very noticeable way is in the field of communications. With computers, people in the furthest reaches of the globe can communicate and engage in mutually beneficial business arrangements.

The woman in the scenario above for instance, is able to have a meeting with her clients and discuss business related dealings which will benefit them both without having to travel. This also means that she will have free time - that otherwise would have been spent traveling - to engage in other business.
