   • CReview the risk register with the team member to find the proper response action for this issue
   • DAsk the team member to raise a change request to assess the issue in detail

   Show answer

   Answer: B

   Explanation

   Option C, reviewing the risk register with the team member to find the proper response action for this issue, is not the most appropriate action in this situation. This is because the issue is already happening, and the team member is currently facing it. The risk register is used to track potential risks to the project, and it is used to develop mitigation plans for those risks. However, in this situation, the risk has already happened, and the team member is currently facing it. Therefore, the risk register is not the best tool to use to address this issue.
