Option D. Request the sponsor's formal approval to discontinue the component. The product owner should have a conversation with the sponsor to understand the reasons behind the change and to come up with a solution that benefits the project and the stakeholders involved.

Since it was a major selling point of the project and from an APPROVED scope, what if in the future the sponsor denies ever agreeing that the component is unimportant?. I will prefer option D to C.

Project sponsor role doesn't assume he/she is confident about other stakeholder needs. We can be sure that something else should happend AFTER P.O. takes first step. b. PO continue the feature and then actively seek other stakeholder opinion about the feature. c. PO discontinue the feature and then actively seek other stakeholder opinion about the feature. So B. answer looks like the best answer. A is absolutely incorrect. D is the same as C in terms of "what is the next action after first step".
