Explanation

When a quality issue is discovered during a deliverable audit, the project sponsor should be notified first because they have executive authority over the project, own the budget, and are ultimately accountable for project outcomes. Notifying the sponsor first ensures proper escalation and authorization before corrective actions are taken. The project team (A) would be notified afterward to implement fixes. Stakeholders (C), the champion (D), and the PMO (E) are secondary notifications that follow the sponsor's awareness and direction.
