Selected Answer: B

The word empowerment is misleading here to choose answer C, if it is feasible for teams to run projects independently then why every pm isnt empowering them ? this even raises the question of saying the PM as redundant , no matter how much empowered are teams, the pm is required to do a lot of coordinated efforts. Hence my answer is B, add the availability of PMs as a risk item and then take actions to mitigate , even if that means taking actions to empower the team so they become capable of taking majority of tasks
