Select one:

a$.$ emphasize the cultural differences between the new hires and the rest of the employees in hopes of opening a dialogue on race and ethnicity.

b$.$ let the rest of the employees know that she has hired Juana, Keiko, and Arjun in compliance with company objectives for managing diversity.

c$.$ allow each of them to adapt on his or her own, all the while quietly observing from the background and making it clear that she is there if they need help with anything.

d$.$ work toward breaking down barriers by remaining ever vigilant for any hint that the existing employees have failed to welcome Juana, Keiko, and Arjun with open arms.
