Explanation

When a task finishes ahead of schedule, the most appropriate immediate step is to communicate the success to the team. This maintains transparency, boosts morale, and ensures everyone is aware of the current project state. Assigning the next task (A) should only occur after the project manager reviews the schedule and resource plan - not spontaneously. Notifying the sponsor of a new completion date (C) is premature based on a single task. Adding lag to the next task (D) is counterproductive and could artificially slow the project down.
