A. B. C. D. E.CE.
Option C and E are the most appropriate in this scenario.
Option A (Mail the purchase order and follow up with a phone call) can lead to delays in the order as it takes time for the mail to reach the vendor, and there may be further delays if the vendor has to wait for the physical signature.
Option B (Fax the purchase order and follow up with a phone call) is better than mailing as it is faster, but it still requires a physical signature, which may delay the order.
Option C (Drive to the vendor if local and provide a signed purchase order) is the best option if the vendor is located nearby. It allows the project manager to provide a signed purchase order immediately and receive confirmation of receipt from the vendor.
Option D (Scan and send the purchase order and follow up with a phone call) may be faster than mailing, but it still requires the vendor to receive the physical signature before processing the order.
Option E (Request a courier from the vendor to pick up the purchase order) is also a good option, especially if the vendor is not located nearby. The courier can pick up the signed purchase order and deliver it to the vendor quickly.
In summary, Options C and E are the best options for ordering equipment quickly when a physical signature is required.
