Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Since the coworker is regularly responsible for sending the sales report, it is appropriate to get straight to the point and simply request the report without explanation. A formal style and tone may be necessary if requesting the report from a superior or client, but in this case, a direct approach is sufficient. Using a persuasive approach or explaining why the information is needed is also unnecessary.
