Why each option

Before presenting a change request to the change control board (CCB), the project manager must comprehensively analyze its potential impact across all project elements to provide the CCB with a complete picture.

ASuggest the board study the cost of the change.

Suggesting the board study the cost is insufficient; the project manager should perform this analysis as part of the impact assessment and present the findings to the board.

BEvaluate the affect on all other parts of the project.Correct

The project manager is responsible for performing a thorough impact analysis on all project areas, including scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, and risks, to provide the change control board with essential information for decision-making.

CReview the change request with the project sponsor.

While reviewing with the project sponsor is a good practice, the critical prerequisite for CCB presentation is the project manager's detailed impact analysis of the change.

DRequest team member input on the value of the change.

Requesting team member input on value is valuable for initial assessment, but it does not replace the project manager's primary responsibility to conduct a full impact analysis on the entire project.
