The correct answer is the option A: True.

Explanation:

To begin with, it is true that in the scenario presented the handbooks will transfer explicit knowledge because in them the new employees will find all the information needed in order to understand better their positions and the daily operations that they would have to manage, while in the other hand the experienced personnel will ensure the acquisition of tacit knowledge due to the fact that the tacit knowlegde is the one that it is not written but the people understand it any way by heart or by experienced and therefore that they will be the ones in transfer it.
