Answer: D

Explanation:

Outsourcing the project would be appropriate in this case, because it will not decrease the function’s expertise, nor will it involve outsourcing a key strategic task. The business plan should support the organization’s strategy, and rearranging or delaying other commitments is not necessary since outsourcing is a legitimate option. Adding permanent staff for a temporary situation is not appropriate.
