Selected Answer: B
This phrase "specific communication needs for the stakeholder" qualifies B as the answer because it focuses on the issue relating to the specific stakeholder. D is expressed in broader terms, focusing on stakeholder engagement in the communication plan. Doesn't address the need of the specific stakeholder.

B is precise, D is general, though both are good answers. PMBOK points to B as being the best answer.

B. Update the stakeholder engagement plan with the specific communication needs for the stakeholder A stakeholder engagement plan (SEP) documents how involved and influential your project stakeholders are. It also outlines your stakeholder communication plan, including when you'll reach out to each stakeholder, what platform you'll use, and how much information you'll deliver.

A. Ensure that the project team has been provided guidance on the specific needs of this stakeholder B. Update the stakeholder engagement plan with the specific communication needs for the stakeholder C. Ensure that the project documents contain specific instructions regarding the stakeholder D. Update the communications management plan with specific information on stakeholder engagement Answer : B https://www.northeastern.edu/graduate/blog/stakeholder-engagement-plan/ “Simply put, stakeholder engagement is about figuring out how to effectively communicate, collaborate, and interact with key people who have positive or negative influence, and may impact the success of your project,” says Tim Mills, a lecturer for Northeastern’s Master of Science in Project Management program. D is likely too, but it's too general and not specific to the said stakeholder
