The correct answer is D. Say, "I've been thinking that this other idea I have could work; what do you all think?"

Explanation:

In business, the best is to use assertive communication, which means you are honest but respectful when expressing your ideas, opinions, and points of view, especially if these oppose the ones of other people. This implies Jeremy should tell others about his opinion of the idea proposed but in using polite language; also it is a good idea he offers feedback to improve the idea or replace it as communication should be constructive. Thus, the best for Jeremy is to say "I've been thinking that this other idea I have could work; what do you all think?" because this offers an alternative, is honest and respectful.
