I'm surprised option A isn't the correct answer. Evaluating the risk with the team and updating the issue log seems like a logical first step. But I guess the exam writers wanted to see if we're thinking outside the box. Thumbs up for option D!

Hmm, I'd go with option C. Performing a quantitative risk analysis would help the project manager better understand the extent of the issue and develop a more informed action plan. Plus, it's always good to have the numbers to back up your decisions.

Wow, this question really hits close to home. I once worked on a project where the construction crew used dynamite during business hours. The local businesses weren't too happy about that one. Option D all the way!
