Communicating with the CEO is definitely important, but I wonder if that alone would have prevented the budget shortage. Option D seems a bit too simplistic.

I think reporting discrepancies is actually part of the evaluating exit criteria and reporting phase. That's where you're analyzing the test results and communicating them, so option D seems like the best fit.

Haha, the risk manager should have consulted a crystal ball to predict the future budget needs. That would have been more effective than any of these options!
