Explanation
The status report (C) is the best tool here because it provides a formal, documented record of project performance - including recurring delays - that is distributed to all relevant stakeholders, including senior management and sponsors. When verbal consultation with the functional manager has failed, escalating through a formal status report creates a written record of the issue and brings broader visibility to the problem, putting pressure on the responsible parties. A communication plan (A) defines how communications should occur but does not itself communicate the issue. The scope document (B) defines project deliverables but is not a communication vehicle for performance problems. A RACI matrix (D) clarifies roles and responsibilities but does not convey recurring performance issues to stakeholders.
