Selected Answer: C
In a matrix organization, where project managers often work with resources borrowed from functional managers, collaboration is key. If the functional manager is unable to provide resources for testing, the project manager should work with the project team to explore alternative solutions and determine how to ensure that the necessary testing support is obtained. This may involve negotiating with other functional managers, adjusting the project schedule, or finding external resources. The focus should be on finding a collaborative and practical solution within the project team.
