Explanation

Once a task is complete and the schedule is updated, the immediate priority is to keep work flowing. In a sequenced schedule, completing a predecessor task enables successor tasks to begin. Notifying those team members immediately prevents idle time and maintains momentum. Sending updates to the sponsor (B) or CCB (A) is not required for routine task completion, and releasing team members to the functional manager (C) is premature - the project is still in execution.
