I like the idea of the stakeholder interviews in option A. That's going to be key for understanding the different perspectives and getting them aligned. The other options seem more reactive - I'd want to be proactive in this situation.

For a large cross-functional program with conflicting expectations, I think the best approach is to really dive into the stakeholder interviews and documentation. That's going to give you the most comprehensive view to work from.

I'm not totally sure about this one. I'll need to eliminate the options I'm certain are wrong, then make an educated guess between the remaining choices.
