ANSWER AND EXPLANATION:
The correct answer is B. Answer choice ‘A’ is incorrect since the scenario indicates that the Communications Management Plan is intact and it outlines that the project manager is responsible for all the interactions with the client organization. Answer choice ‘D’ is also incorrect since there is a conflict between the Communications Management Plan and the team's behavior. Answer choice ‘C’ is incorrect since we can't conclude from the scenario whether the last project manager was a PMP or not. The Project Management Plan contains the Communications Management Plan and this information was neither shared with the team nor was it enforced.
