Explanation

When a project closes, the project manager is responsible for formally releasing project resources - this includes people, equipment, and financial accounts. Releasing resources means formally transitioning team members off the project so their time can be reallocated to other work. Because the PM did not release the team member as a project resource, the system still associates them with the closed project, preventing them from logging time elsewhere. Removing access (A) is a separate activity related to systems/tools. Collecting stakeholder feedback (C) and getting the closeout report approved (D) are closure tasks but do not directly control resource time-charging; the root cause here is the failure to release the resource.
