IS C RIGHT ANSWER?THANK YOU:)))

Answer 1

I don't get emotional about due dates. I think there's a better answer.

Answer 2

Why do you feel that your requirements have to be justified by you? I would go for b). The more information you give the reader, his misunderstanding goes up exponentially.

Answer 3

I'm sorry -- I misread the question. I agree that c is the best answer.
