Answer:

Explanation:

The best choice would be:

b) "a source with knowledge of executive-level communications"

Explanation:

1. **Not A: "an executive assistant with access to high-level corporate emails"**

  - While this option acknowledges the role of an executive assistant, it is too specific and may inadvertently reveal the identity of the source. It provides more details than necessary and could compromise the anonymity of the informant.

2. **Chosen: "a source with knowledge of executive-level communications"**

  - This option maintains the confidentiality of the source while highlighting their access to information at the executive level. It does not disclose the specific role (executive assistant) or access details that could potentially identify the source.

3. **Not C: Don't use this source**

  - Without a valid reason provided in the context, choosing not to use the source would be a less favorable option, especially if the information is crucial and the anonymity of the source can be preserved by generalizing their description.

Choosing option b allows the journalist to convey the importance of the source's knowledge without compromising the source's identity.

C) don’t use this source
