What is the best course of action when asked a difficult or complex question?

A) Ask for clarification.
B) Give a simple, direct answer.
C) Ask audience members to weigh in on the subject.
D) Give a vague answer and move on to the next question or new topic.
E) Offer to get a complete answer as soon as possible, after the presentation.

Answer: E
Explanation: E) If you are asked a difficult or complex question, avoid the temptation to sidestep it. Offer to meet with the questioner afterward if the issue isn't relevant to the rest of the audience or if giving an adequate answer would take too long. If you don't know the answer, don't pretend you do. Instead, offer to get a complete answer as soon as possible.
