Answer 1

Answer:

Refrain from responding during the meeting, and address the issue honestly and privately at a later time.

Explanation:

When a coworker makes a rude or an insulting remark, the best way is to refrain from responding during the meeting, and address the issue honestly and privately at a later time.

This allows you to think over it better and not make a hasty remark in front of other meeting members. It also separates your professional values from the one who made the insulting remark. A hasty sharp response might fit badly on your professional reputation.
