The correct answer is C.
Many project managers spend all their time while the work is being done issuing and using status reports. Great project managers know these are necessary, but are not a replacement for properly managing a project. By interacting with the team, watching what is going on, and listening to the team members, you will find out sooner than later what the “real” status of the project is. Reports are normally a week or two behind the actual work, causing a delay in reacting to problems. Therefore, choice C is the biggest disadvantage.
