Explanation

When an approved change has an unforeseen negative impact on the critical path, the immediate priority is to execute the regression plan - a pre-defined rollback procedure designed to restore the system or process to its previous stable state. This directly addresses the risk of project delay. Evaluating the impact (A) and identifying the root cause (C) are valid activities but are retrospective; they don't reverse the damage. Validating the quality check (D) is a pre-implementation step that has already been missed. Executing the regression plan is the fastest corrective action to protect the project schedule.
