Selected Answer: C
The correct answer is C. "Log the issue and follow the planned actions in the risk response plan." The situation described indicates that the project manager had already anticipated the risk of the labor union contract negotiation causing delays. Since this was documented as a risk, a risk response plan should have been developed for such a scenario. Thus, the appropriate action when the risk becomes an actual issue is to refer to the predetermined risk response plan and execute the outlined actions. This ensures that the project manager is following a pre-defined, stakeholder-approved approach to address the situation, rather than reacting impulsively or without proper consideration.

Selected Answer: C
If i´m not wrong, the risk related to the contract was registered and it should contain a mitigation plan, so option C register the problem and follow the action plan seems a good option
