Selected Answer: B
In a matrixed organization, functional managers often have the most up-to-date information on resource commitments and availability. Therefore, involving the functional manager to review the resource pool and recommend the right individuals to join the team (Option B) can indeed be a practical and effective approach.

Selected Answer: C
C. Meet with the project team to understand their skills and identify potential gaps and training requirements. As the project manager, it is important to have a clear understanding of the skills of the project team members and to identify any gaps in their abilities that may affect the project's successful execution. By meeting with the project team and discussing their skills, the project manager can assess whether the team has the necessary technical skills to complete the project or if additional training or resources are needed. The project manager can then take appropriate actions to ensure that the team has the required skills and resources to complete the project successfully. This will help to ensure that the project is completed on time and within budget, and meets the quality standards required by the stakeholders.
