Explanation

A change request should only be submitted after analysis confirms it is necessary, justified, and supported by evidence. Submitting a change request without prior validation wastes sponsor time and reduces credibility. The project manager should have analyzed the risk's probability, impact, and available response options to validate the need for a formal change before submission. Executing a risk strategy and recording it (A) describes what should happen after a change request is approved, not before submission. Informing the client and sponsor before submitting (C) is a communication step but does not address the root issue of submitting an unvalidated request. Contacting other stakeholders (D) is also a communication action that does not resolve the lack of prior analysis.
