D. I thought about B but "prepare for escalation" seems to be the wrong answer and informing the customer before evaluating the impact shouldn't be done.

I would go with D though it doesn't seem right to readjust the schedule as it is normally fixed on Agile projects. I would have gone with B but the PM cannot inform the customer of the impact immediately. First, the impact needs to be worked out.

Is it okay that PM adjust the schedule by themselves? I understand A,B,C is not good enough for this question, but D looks not that nice
