Selected Answer: A
Before submitting a change request, it's important to assess the situation, document it in the risk register, and update the project log. This initial step ensures that the project manager has a clear understanding of the circumstances, potential impacts, and the need for additional budget. Once this information is documented, the project manager can then proceed to submit a change request to formally address the budget increase.

I would go with C. A doesn't say anything about 'assessment' of the problem. Plus, I have never heard about a project log.

It should be A. The first action is not to escalate, making C too brash.
