Why each option
The resource management plan defines roles, responsibilities, and processes for acquiring and managing project personnel. It is the correct document to consult when determining accountability for staffing decisions.
A business management plan is not a standard PMBOK subsidiary plan and does not specifically govern resource acquisition responsibilities.
The resource management plan describes who is responsible for identifying and securing project resources, including personnel and the associated budget. When the technical lead requests additional developers, this plan identifies which role or party is accountable for sourcing the funding and fulfilling that request.
The cost management plan defines how costs are estimated and controlled overall, but does not specify who is responsible for procuring budget for individual resource requests.
The stakeholder engagement plan focuses on strategies for communicating with and engaging stakeholders, not on internal resource acquisition accountability.
