Answer 1

Answer:

I will ask the question that

C. How will it make me feel about myself?

Explanation:

The reason behind asking question is that I want to know that this new office policy will effect me. If this office policy will change my responsibilities or my rights, I'll be definitely ask this question as it is a matter of importance for me.

The other questions

• Is it legal?  is not appropriate for asking as the office policy is beyond the legal framework.
• Is it balanced? is not appropriate for asking as this question is not specific and clear so it is good to ask this question.
• Is it a lose-lose situation? this question is not a good way to ask about the nice policy as it will show my pessimistic approach towards the policy.
