Selected Answer: B
Here's why this approach is most appropriate: Enforcing Contractual Obligations: The project manager must understand and enforce all aspects of the contract. The situation requires the project manager to know the terms of the contract and determine if the delivery of a different grade of material is allowable based on the terms of the contract. •Addressing Contract Breach: If the shipment does not meet agreed-upon specifications, the seller has breached the contract by not doing something required in the contract. The required legal action for a breach is to send written notification of the breach first.
