22. Osmotic Communication relies on which of the following to be most effectively practiced?
A) Distributed teams
B) Caves and common area
C) Pair programming
D) Co-located teams
Hint: Think about the process of Osmosis as defined in the scientific world, and it should lead you to the correct answer.

Being located near each other and in the same physical environment enables knowledge to be shared and absorbed more easily through Osmosis.
