Correct answer: B
Explanation
When a new law impacting deliverables will be published within two weeks during execution, the project lead should review product backlog items to evaluate the impact on scope and prioritize accordingly. Backlog assessment ensures agile adaptation to regulatory change. Developing a change request for resources (A) assumes resource needs before impact analysis. Working on alternative solutions with no budget impact (C) constrains options prematurely. Asking legal to evaluate (D) may supplement but is not the first step.
