Which is NOT cited as a critical factor in selecting an office location?

• A. Proximity to major highways
• B. Proximity to recreation and professional sports franchises
• C. Availability of utilities and infrastructure
• D. Access to public transit

Answer: (B)

When evaluating where to put an office, the focus is on factors that directly affect operations and how easily people can get to and services can run. Proximity to major highways helps with road access, and access to public transit makes it easier for employees and clients to reach the office. Availability of utilities and infrastructure ensures reliable power, internet, and other needed services. Proximity to recreation and professional sports franchises, while it might affect employee quality of life or corporate image, does not impact the ability to operate the business or the essential logistics of the location, so it’s not considered a critical factor.
