I am torn between A and B. It is a bit confusing. According to the PMBOK, you do not need to go for a CR until the scope baseline gets approved. From the question, it seems that we are still in the initiation phase with the charter being just approved. However, without analyzing the impact, how can the PM ask the sponsor to increase the budget & timeline
