Answer:

d) Listen to his suggestions to see what might work

Explanation:

A supervisor or team leader cannot be expected to know everything, or be completely up-to-date with the latest innovations. A lot of what comprises "best practice" is developed on the job, or propagated by personnel transfers or word of mouth. A different point of view can often be beneficial, planting the seed for a beneficial change, even if the specific suggestion is not workable.

Ursula should pay attention to all of her team members, Tom included.
