- D.Escalate the issue to the functional manager
Correct answer: A
Explanation
When a senior team member lacks knowledge to perform quantitative risk analysis, the project manager should help the team member through coaching, mentoring, and training. Developing team capabilities aligns with the PM's responsibility for team development and ensures sustainable project capability. Contacting the PMO for a replacement (C) disrupts team dynamics. Escalating to the functional manager (D) is unnecessary. Performing the analysis for the member (B) deprives them of learning.
