Selected Answer: C

Option C would be the best approach to get the most value from this team member. The project manager should communicate with the team member and help them understand that the current project is a new opportunity to succeed and contribute. The project manager can work with the team member to set clear expectations and goals for the current project and support them in focusing on the tasks at hand. Encouraging the team member to learn from past conflicts and experiences can also help them grow professionally and improve their contributions to the current project. It is not necessary to involve the project sponsor or HR in this situation as it is a personal conflict and can be addressed within the project team.
