Explanation

When a program faces a funding threat, the program manager must make the strongest case for continued investment. Conducting a cost-benefit analysis (Choice C) quantifies the value of the program relative to its costs, giving sponsors the financial evidence they need to justify continued funding. This is more compelling than simply revising ROI (Choice B), which is narrower in scope. Choice A (completing the benefits sustainment plan) moves forward as if funding is secure and doesn't address the threat. Choice D (reviewing strategic alignment) is useful but less actionable in a funding crisis-executives need numbers, not just narrative alignment. A cost-benefit analysis directly answers the 'is this worth continuing?' question that sponsors are implicitly asking.
