A is correct This approach ensures that the program manager is transparent about potential risks and impacts on program goals. By presenting the concerns to the program governance board, the program manager can seek their guidance and support in making informed decisions. This allows for a structured evaluation of the proposed acceleration and its implications, ensuring that any actions taken are aligned with the overall program objectives and have the necessary buy-in from key stakeholders.
