Explanation

Implementing a clear approval workflow in Workfront (A) directly solves the root cause - unclear processes - by creating a structured, visible, and trackable approval path within the project management tool the team already uses. Assigning multiple approvers (B) adds complexity and can create bottleneck conflicts rather than clarity. Eliminating approvals (C) removes necessary oversight and accountability, trading one problem for a bigger one. Switching to email (D) moves approvals outside the system of record, making them harder to track, audit, and integrate with task status.

Memory tip: Think "fix the process, not the tool" - when delays stem from unclear workflows, the answer is almost always to define and formalize them within the existing system, not to bypass or abandon them.
