D. Geneva and her team work remotely from all around the world, and are unable to meet face to face.

Explanation:

If Geneva is a team manager of a group of people who work from vastly different areas, communicate through virtual means, and are unable to meet in person at one single place, then, sending the information about the future layoffs by email is justifiable.

Even if the information is of great importance, and does not tend to be sent by email, in this case, Geneva is unable to meet personally with each one of the people who will be laid off.
