Answer

The answer is: discuss the company's recent merger while you carpool with a coworker.

Explanation
Option 1: ask top management, during a company meeting, about the company's recent merger.

This option involves formal communication within an official setting, which is not considered grapevine communication.

Option 2: write a memo to your boss suggesting how to publicize the company's recent merger.

Writing a memo to your boss is a formal method of communication and does not fall under the category of grapevine communication.

Option 3: post a news release on your company's website announcing its recent merger.

Posting a news release on the company's website is a formal and official way of communicating information to the public, not grapevine communication.

Option 4: write an article for your company's newsletter, quoting the CEO's comments about the recent merger.

Writing an article for the company's newsletter is a formal method of internal communication and does not qualify as grapevine communication.

Option 5: discuss the company's recent merger while you carpool with a coworker.

This option involves informal communication between employees outside of official channels, which is characteristic of grapevine communication.
