Answer:b) We request our employees to refrain from using cell phones on the work floor

Explanation:

This one is politically correct because there is no threat in it but stated as professionally as possible because the aim is to send the message to the employees that they need to stop using cellphones during work hours.

When someone is at work they need to know the rules and regulations and all this can be given to them in as professionally as possible; they don't have to feel threatened because still this has to be a conducive environment for someone to feel good about coming to work.
