If a message contains correct facts but is shared so late that recipients cannot prepare, what conclusion can be drawn?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Correct facts can become less useful when received late.
A message must be accurate and timely enough for the receiver to act on it. If correct information arrives after preparation or action was required, its practical value is reduced. Thus, accuracy alone does not guarantee effectiveness. Option B ignores the importance of timing, option C ignores the need for timely action, and option D unfairly assigns responsibility without considering the sender’s delay.
