Indirect
Direct

Answer 1

Indirect

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned tat you just promoted also at the same time you know that Crystal would be upset at the time when she heared the promotion news but she is the good friend and need to be honest so here the indirect strategy should be used rather using the direct strategy

Therefore the first option is correct
