    Answer: 96 ways

    Explanation: this is a combination.

    If the company reps are designated as A, B, C & D.

    A can have Handshakes with the rest 3

    B can have Handshakes with the rest 2

    C can shake hands with D

    So 3+2+1=6 multiplied by the total number of reps i. e 16.

    So 16x6=96
