I think option D might not be the best choice. Relying solely on the sponsor for communication could create more distance between stakeholders and the program.

I practiced a similar question where identifying opposition was key, so I lean towards option B. But I wonder if it’s enough on its own.

Option A is a no-brainer. Change management is crucial for a successful program implementation. Although, I do wonder if the program manager is also considering a pizza party to sweeten the deal.

I'd be wary of option D. The program sponsor shouldn't be the sole interface with stakeholders. That could come across as heavy-handed and undermine trust.
