C is the way to go. Assuming they're clueless and walking them through the whole thing will make sure they're on the same page. Gotta start from the ground up, you know?

Haha, definitely not A! Hitting them with the negative stuff first is a surefire way to lose their attention. Let's keep things positive, folks.

B for sure. Executives eat up data and figures. The more facts and stats, the better. They'll feel like they're really making an informed decision.
