The correct answers are: No single director can be knowledgeable and informed about all aspects and perspectives of an organisation's business; Diverse boards can reach out to a greater range of stakeholder constituencies; A board with a broad range of experience is more likely to have an independent, probing mindset.

Not all groups in society may be affected by the company's activities. Recruiting single representatives from all major groups without considering their likely contribution to the board could be seen as tokenism, which is a criticism of pursuing diversity. A problem with pursuing diversity is that only a limited number of representatives of some groups may be willing to become directors. They thus accept a number of directorships and this can limit their contribution to each board that they join.
