Answer 1

C. It decreases important social interaction between and among employees on a number of levels, resulting in a change in the social network and corporate culture.

Step-by-step explanation:

Working from home or freelancing has gained traction nowadays as it is a feasible way to transfer work to home, usually reducing costs and being more convenient for employees (mostly).
