• B
  3% (1)
• C
  7% (2)
• D
  3% (1)

Explanation

Option A is correct because when requirement priorities are being challenged, the appropriate escalation path is to the Team Leader, who has the authority and organizational standing to mediate conflicts, reaffirm priority decisions, and maintain team alignment - this follows standard project management escalation protocol.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is incorrect (and appears truncated) because going directly to the Marketing Director bypasses the proper escalation chain and undermines the Team Leader's role as the immediate point of resolution.
• C is incorrect because removing empowerment from the Solution Development Team is a punitive, heavy-handed action that destroys trust and doesn't address the root cause of the priority conflict.
• D is not a valid answer choice - it appears to be a fragment of the question stem itself, likely a formatting error in the exam material.

Memory tip: Think "chain of command first." When priorities are disputed, always escalate one level up through the proper authority (Team Leader) before jumping to stakeholders or taking disciplinary action. The Team Leader owns conflict resolution at the team level.
