I'd say D is the most likely reason. The security officer should have taken some time to build trust and relationships before trying to implement major changes. Rome wasn't built in a day, you know.

But what if the software license expiration is the issue? Option A could also be a valid reason.

I agree with Marla, getting support from business units is crucial for project success.

The answer is definitely B. You can't just push security projects down people's throats without getting buy-in from the affected departments. That's a recipe for disaster!
