Which practice supports inclusive language when addressing groups, including pronouns?

Explanation:
Inclusive language means choosing terms that include everyone and confirming people’s pronouns rather than guessing. The best approach is to use inclusive language and invite clarifications on pronouns, such as addressing the group with terms like “everyone” and sharing your own pronouns, then asking others for theirs when appropriate. This practice helps prevent misgendering and signals respect for diverse identities. Other approaches—avoiding pronouns, assuming everyone’s gender, or relying only on formal titles—can exclude people and overlook nonbinary orgender-diverse identities.
