Explanation

A Change Control Board (CCB) has organizational authority over production environments, and a production freeze means no deployments or activations are permitted during that period. The most practical and realistic outcome is that the CCB asks the project manager to reschedule the activation by one week - moving it just outside the freeze window. Placing the project on indefinite hold (B) is too drastic for a one-week shift. Having the team work overtime to beat the freeze (C) violates the spirit of the freeze policy. The sponsor ignoring a systemwide freeze (D) would be a governance violation and is highly unlikely in a well-run organization.
