Explanation

This is a Preventive Action. A preventive action is taken proactively to reduce the probability of a future negative outcome - in this case, removing unauthorized features before those risks can materialize and impact the project. It is not corrective action (B), which addresses a deviation that has already occurred. It is not defect repair (D), which fixes a non-conforming component after it has been built and inspected. Scope creep (C) describes the problem Beth caused, not the solution. By removing the features proactively, the PM is preventing potential schedule, quality, or budget risks from ever becoming actual issues - the hallmark of a preventive action.
