Explanation
When a team member engages in illegal behavior, the project manager must act responsibly on two fronts simultaneously. First (D), consulting HR is mandatory before taking any disciplinary or personnel action - HR defines the legal and procedural boundaries the PM must stay within. Firing, removing, or retaining the employee without HR guidance could expose the organization to legal liability. Second (E), cross-training another resource is a proactive risk mitigation step: regardless of how the HR situation resolves, the project now has a knowledge-transfer gap. The PM must protect the project's continuity in parallel. Notifying the client (B) before internal resolution is premature and damaging. Allowing the resource to keep working (A) is irresponsible and potentially a legal liability. Requesting a new resource (C) or more time (F) are downstream options that may not even be necessary, making them not the FIRST priority.
