Why each option
During a business continuity event requiring site relocation, the people physically affected by the disruption must be notified first.
The project sponsor is a stakeholder who may need to be informed, but they are not in immediate danger and do not need to act on the relocation directive urgently.
The PMO is an administrative and governance body - while they may eventually be informed, they are not the first priority when personnel safety and work relocation are at stake.
Affected team members are those present at the unsafe primary location and require immediate notification to ensure their safety and direct them to the alternate site. This is the primary communication objective of activating a business continuity plan - getting the impacted individuals the information they need to act.
The project team is broader than those affected - it may include members working remotely or at other locations who do not need relocation instructions, making 'affected team members' the more precise and actionable notification target.
