The described action, where three project team members worked overtime to align the actual schedule with the planned schedule, is an example of a Corrective action. The team took corrective measures to address the deviation from the planned schedule, as indicated by the Schedule Performance Index (SPI) of .87. Therefore, the correct answer is C. Corrective.
