Selected Answer: C

The correct answer is C. Conducted periodic reviews with the manager on resource availability. By conducting periodic reviews with the manager on resource availability, the project manager could have identified the capacity issue earlier and taken proactive measures to mitigate the risk of a delayed equipment installation. This could have included exploring alternative installation teams or adjusting the project schedule to account for the delay.

C is answer. It is capacity issue. Option A (Defining skill requirements clearly in the scope statement) may not have addressed the specific issue of resource capacity and availability.
