Answer 1

B. We are going to take action in response to recent market fluctuations.

D. Janice, please implement the performance measure we discussed last week.

Step-by-step explanation:

The two statements above use appropriate business language because the language used is formal (although not too formal which can also be negative in a business context because it could reduce clarity), and also because the words used are part of the common business jargon.

The other two statements are inappropriate. A) is inappropriate because it uses profanity, and C) is inappropriate because the language used is too informal.
