Why each option

To determine the complete effect of a proposed new requirement on the project, the project manager must conduct an impact analysis.

APerforming an impact analysisCorrect

Performing an impact analysis is the specific process where a project manager evaluates how a proposed change, such as a new requirement, will affect various aspects of the project, including its scope, schedule, budget, resources, and risks. This analysis provides the critical information needed to make an informed decision about whether to approve or reject the change.

BIdentifying a change

Identifying a change is merely recognizing that a change has been proposed, but it does not determine the specific effects of that change.

CCoordinating with stakeholders to select the course of action

Coordinating with stakeholders to select a course of action typically occurs after the impact analysis has been completed, to discuss the findings and decide on the best path forward.

DFilling out a change control

Filling out a change control form is a documentation step for the change request, which may precede or accompany an impact analysis, but it does not by itself determine the change's effect.
