Is this an appropriate action, and why?

During stage 3, the project scope was extended to include a practice test for learners to take during the training course. The cost of this test will be included in the cost of the course.

The change to project scope was approved and the cost of £2,500 was paid for from the change budget.

The project manager documented an increase of £2,500 in the project budget in the business case.

Is this an appropriate action, and why?
A . Yes, because the justification for the project should be recalculated based on the revised project budget.
B . Yes, because the project manager determines which costs need to be updated at the end of each stage
C . No, because the use of the change budget means that the project budget does not need to be increased.
D . No, because changes to operational costs post-project should have been included in the business case.
