Selected Answer: B

B is the answer. The project manager should instruct the team to break down larger activities, such as those estimated at 100 story points, into smaller, more manageable tasks. This breakdown enhances estimation accuracy and facilitates better tracking of progress. Negotiating or resizing story points may not address the root issue, and focusing on executing smaller activities alone may overlook the need for granularity in planning. Breaking down larger tasks aligns with best practices for improved project management.
