I think I won't go for option A because if we don't resolve the source of the issue(s) which is side tracked by others (projects, functional manages' demends), the daily standup track alone won't help..

A. Daily standups can help the project manager: - Get visibility into the project's progress - Identify roadblocks and address them promptly - Keep the team focused and motivated - Track completion of deliverables and adjust the schedule as needed D. Discussing the risk of project delay and work priorities with functional managers can help the project manager: - Understand the reasons behind the team members' reassignment - Negotiate the return of team members or secure additional resources - Prioritize tasks and adjust the project schedule accordingly

By establishing daily standups, the project manager can ensure that the team is making progress and identify any potential roadblocks. This will allow the project manager to address issues in a timely manner and ensure that the team is on track to complete the project. Discussing the risk of project delay and work priorities with the respective functional managers can also help to bring the team back on track. By communicating with the managers, the project manager can identify if the team members will be available to work on the project and if there are any conflicting priorities that need to be addressed. This will help to ensure that the team has the resources they need to complete the project on time.

A daily standup is usually agile specific, this doesn't really specify that its agile or that would be a better answer. A daily standup could cause a lot of issues in a predictive environment like say, construction or something. Imagine you're a construction worker who has to drive to a meeting/connect a computer every day, wait for everyone to get in, hope it goes as planned, then get back into your headspace of working on a task. They can be counterproductive if there isn't a constant need for them.
