"Re-energize" means "to refresh" or "boost motivation," particularly in a team or group setting, and is used correctly here. "Reorganize," on the other hand, means "to arrange differently" or "to change the structure," and while it might seem similar, it does not fit the context of boosting energy or motivation. Therefore, "re-energize" is the correct choice when the goal is to enhance enthusiasm or motivation.
