The MOST likely is find out the new timeline. You don't know what to tell the stakeholders other than it's gonna be late. Find the updated timeline, then tell the stakeholders how much delay they can expect.

I would say the PM needs to communicate with stakeholders about the updated timeline since that falls under their responsibilities and is appropriate for the given scenario.

I see the argument for A though and believe it is a valid answer as well. If someone finds a quote from their book that would be great.

Work with the project scheduler to update the project timeline. The project manager should work with the project scheduler to update the project timeline after finding an unforeseen dependency on one of the critical project activities that will most likely cause a delay. The project scheduler is a person or a tool that helps plan, schedule, monitor, and control the project activities and resources. The project scheduler can help the project manager to assess the impact of the dependency on the project schedule and identify any possible ways to mitigate or resolve it. The project scheduler can also help to update the project timeline with the revised dates and durations of the project activities and communicate them to the relevant stakeholders
