In response to the scenario where the primary subcontractor's agreement includes incentives that might conflict with the program objectives, the most appropriate initial action for the program manager would be: C. **Ask the program management office (PMO) to conduct a risk assessment.** This action involves assessing the potential risks the conflicting incentives could pose to the program objectives. By engaging the PMO, the program manager ensures a thorough and objective evaluation, leveraging the PMO's expertise in risk management. This assessment will provide crucial insights for making informed decisions on how to proceed.
