The correct answer is A. Ask a developer to create a change request.. The PM should ask the developer to submit a formal change request.

Explanation

The PM should ask the developer to submit a formal change request. Although the performance fix has merit, modifying code outside the defined project scope requires going through the change control process - this ensures the change is reviewed, approved, budgeted, and documented. Simply implementing it would be unauthorized scope change. Doing nothing ignores a legitimate performance concern. Communicating change status is premature before the change has been formally submitted and evaluated. The change request process protects both the project and the developer.
