OPAs is the input of Quality management plan which includes feasible industry standards, comany strategy. So I think A is better than D.

OPA is out of PM scope, besides, "industry standards of the organization" implies OPA itself

You can refer OPA(which is done already) but not review OPA, it is PMO duty

Question says, PM is well informed about the industry standards of organization. So he need not review OPA again. The Quality Management Plan outlines the processes and procedures that will be used to ensure that the project deliverables meet the required quality standards. By reviewing the Quality Management Plan, the project manager can assess whether the industry standards of the organization are adequately incorporated into the plan and if there are any gaps that need to be addressed. This will help ensure that the project's deliverables align with the organization's best practices and industry standards.

A According to PMBOK, the project manager, in this scenario, should review the project's current state against industry standards, identify any gaps or discrepancies, assess the impact on project deliverables, and determine necessary corrective actions to align the project with organizational standards and best practices.

The project manager should review the Organizational Process Assets (OPAs) to understand the industry standards and processes that are applicable to the organization. OPAs include the policies, procedures, and knowledge repositories that can provide guidance on how to align project deliverables with industry standards. This review will help the project manager ensure that the project is in compliance with organizational expectations and industry best practices.

A. Organizational process assets (OPAs) Organizational process assets include documentation of the company's standard processes, practices, and templates.

First of all, industry standards are EEF, not OPA. Secondly, please refer to PMBOK: "Quality management plan. Described in Section 8.1.3.1. The quality management plan contains the applicable industry standards and codes the project is required to follow"

I would go with D. The manager is aware of the organization standards, so he needs to review the quality management plan to see why they have not been included in the plan. It is not about what the standards are, it is about why deliverables are not satisfying those standards.

agreed. The PM is already 'well informed' which means he has understood the related OPAs so A is not correct. He has done it already. The answer should be D, PM should review QMP to see how to incorporate the industry standard in the deliverables which is missing currently. so D is a better choice
