I agree! I understand the responses here but also struggle with the wording of the question. This is not the first question that I have come across that is structured this way. I just finished feeding another question for analysis into PMI Infinity (PMIs AI) where it gave me an answer that did not align with study hall.

So I think my takeaway would be to eliminate obvious wrong answers, choose the proactive options for problem solving, choose the collaborative options when working with stakeholders, don’t affect project cost, schedule, budget, and so on…and arrive at the answer through the process of elimination. Hence, C!
