Why each option

Given a strategic push for reuse and the availability of a needed deliverable from another project, the project manager should leverage it to achieve cost savings and meet requirements efficiently.

AIgnore the other project so as not to introduce inter-dependencies between projects as this could

Ignoring existing, reusable deliverables contradicts the strategic push for leveraging components and is an inefficient approach to project management.

BIdentify project dependency as a threat, update risk register and inform stakeholders so that a

While dependencies exist, in this context, leveraging a pre-existing deliverable is an opportunity for efficiency, not primarily a threat to be managed as a risk.

CPlan to leverage the other project's deliverables, make a direct project cost savings and meetCorrect

Leveraging an existing deliverable from another project directly supports the strategic goal of re-usability, leading to potential project cost savings and ensuring the project requirement is met efficiently.

DEscalate the issue to the project sponsor so that a project decision can be made so that the

Escalation is usually for problems or decisions beyond the PM's authority; leveraging a deliverable, especially with a strategic push for reuse, is a standard PM decision.
