Answer: I would contend that the right answer is the A) At the hr vice president's request, the president will attend the afternoon meeting.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that the preposition "as per," which can be translated as "according to," and the idiom "in attendance," which translates as "present in an event," are a little bit too formal, even though this announcement is used in a business environment—it is an announcement made on behalf of the Vice President of Human Resources. The word "pursuant," on the other hand, sounds arguably too formal and almost old-fashioned ("pursuing the request of..."). The first announcement, however, is clear and to the point, yet it is formal and appropriate for the context.
