A.
250
B.
28
C.
378
D.
300
Explanation:
According to the twenty- eight stakeholders. Communication channels are paths of communication
with stakeholders in a project. The number of communication channels shows the complexity of a
project’s communication and can be derived through the formula shown below:
Total Number of Communication Channels = n (n-1)/2
Where n is the number of stakeholders. Hence, a project having five stakeholders will have ten
communication channels. Putting the value of the number of stakeholders in the formula will
provide the number of communication channels. Putting the value of the number of stakeholders in
the formula will provide the number of communication channels:Number of communication channel = (n (n-1)) / 2
= (28 (28-1)) / 2
= (28 x 27) / 2
= 756 / 2
= 378
