Why not C? Because according to the question, the previous PM, had numerous complaints with the team. So the root cause was known.

D. Meet the project team and stakeholders to identify the root cause of the issue and develop a solution. As the new project manager, the first step should be to understand the situation and the reasons behind the delays. Meeting with the project team and stakeholders will provide insights into the causes of the conflicts and potential issues with the project. Once the root cause is identified, the project manager can work with the team to develop a solution to get the project back on track and ensure timely delivery
