Why each option

To motivate a team concerned about overtime during fast-tracking, the project manager should implement activities that improve team morale and performance.

ANegotiate with the client to reduce the changes in requirements.

Negotiating with the client might reduce project scope, but it doesn't directly address or resolve the team's motivation issues related to current overtime concerns from fast-tracking.

BCrash the project schedule to ensure completion on time.

Crashing the project schedule often involves adding resources or requiring more overtime, which would exacerbate the team's existing concern about working overtime.

CIntroduce team-building activities to improve team performance.Correct

Introducing team-building activities helps improve team cohesion, morale, and performance, which can motivate the team to manage increased workload and mitigate the negative impact of overtime concerns during fast-tracking. This approach addresses the underlying concern by fostering a more positive and collaborative environment.

DMeet with the team members to review their roles and responsibilities.

Reviewing roles and responsibilities is a standard practice but does not inherently motivate a team concerned about increased workload and potential overtime due to schedule acceleration.
