    Show answer

    Answer: D

    Explanation

    D. Understand the team member's personal issue and offer them support. As a project manager, it's important to be empathetic and supportive towards team members who are experiencing personal issues that could affect their work performance. The first step is to approach the team member in a private and confidential manner to understand the issue and offer support. The project manager should also reassure the team member that their health and wellbeing is a priority and encourage them to take any necessary time off or work flexibly if it would help them deal with their personal issue. In addition, the project manager may need to reassign some of the team member's tasks temporarily to ensure that the project progresses as planned while the team member gets the necessary support.
