Why each option
Placing inexperienced interns in key project roles introduces a skills gap that most directly threatens the quality of project deliverables.
Interns typically lack the domain expertise, technical skills, and professional judgment required for key roles. This capability gap increases the likelihood of errors, rework, and outputs that fail to meet acceptance criteria, meaning the project manager should most likely anticipate a reduction in the quality of work produced.
Scope is determined by stakeholder requirements and the project charter, not by the experience level of the team executing the work.
Assigning inexperienced workers to critical roles increases project risk - due to higher error rates and knowledge gaps - rather than reducing it.
Less experienced team members typically take longer to complete tasks, which would more likely extend rather than reduce the project timeline.
