Explanation

When a critical-path deliverable is delayed, three immediate responses are triggered: (D) Schedule changes - a critical path delay directly extends the project end date, requiring the schedule to be revised. (G) Risk register updates - the vendor's resource shortage is either a newly realized risk or confirms an existing one; either way, it must be logged and assessed in the risk register. (C) Audits - a vendor failing to meet a critical deliverable warrants a procurement/performance audit to assess compliance with the contract and identify corrective actions. Stakeholder changes (B) and business continuity response (F) are not directly triggered by a vendor resource issue. Milestones (A) may be affected but are outcomes of the schedule change, not independently triggered responses. Incident response (E) is typically reserved for security or safety events.
