C. Taking notes to use throughout the callExplanation
Active listening involves fully engaging with the speaker and demonstrating understanding and interest. The options "So if I understand correctly....", using terms like "I see" or "Go on", and taking notes to use throughout the call all demonstrate active listening. These responses show that the listener is actively trying to comprehend and follow the conversation, and they are showing empathy and encouragement by using phrases like "I see" or "Go on". Taking notes also indicates that the listener is actively processing and retaining information from the call.

- B.

- C.

- D.

- B.
Clearly unethical (the wrong thing to do)

When employees engage in personal activities during work hours, they are essentially stealing time and resources from their employer.

- B.
Clearly not taking ownership
- C.
Depends on who you are talking to
