Why each option

After a change control board (CCB) approves a scope change, the project manager's immediate next action is to develop a plan for implementing that approved change.

AObtain additional approval from the project sponsor.

The CCB's approval typically represents the final authorization for a change; additional approval from the project sponsor is not usually required at this stage unless the sponsor is part of the CCB or specific project governance dictates otherwise.

BDiscuss this change during the next status meeting.

Discussing the change during a status meeting is a communication activity, but it is a subsequent step to the critical action of planning how to execute the approved change.

CPerform a probability and impact analysis on the change.

A probability and impact analysis is a crucial step performed *before* a change is submitted to the CCB for approval, as it provides essential information for the CCB's decision-making process.

DCreate a plan to implement the change.Correct

Once the change control board grants approval, the change becomes an authorized part of the project. The project manager must then create a detailed implementation plan that outlines how the approved change will be integrated into the project's existing work, including necessary adjustments to schedules, resources, and documentation.
