Selected Answer: D
The project manager should facilitate a discussion between the junior team member and the senior team members to understand why the suggestions are being rejected. Encouraging open communication and brainstorming will help identify the root cause of the problem and how it can be resolved. It may be that the senior team members are not fully aware of the new team member's capabilities or that they have a different perspective on the project. The project manager should work to find a way to integrate the junior team member's ideas and suggestions into the project in a way that is acceptable to all team members. Removing the junior team member without addressing the underlying issues would be a disservice to the team and the project.
