Option D? Really? That's just avoiding the problem altogether. Might as well just throw up our hands and say 'not my problem.' Option B is definitely the way to go here.

Option A is a bit too harsh, and Option C just sounds like a rant. Option B strikes the right balance - it's professional and gets the point across without any unnecessary drama.

I'd go with Option B as well. It's important to highlight the issue, but in a constructive way that focuses on finding a solution rather than placing blame.

Wow, this is a tricky one! Option B seems like the most diplomatic approach. We need to be proactive in communicating the problem, but without sounding too confrontational.
