This question is like a Choose Your Own Adventure book, but with more bureaucracy and less dragons. Still, B) is the way to go, in my opinion.

B) Communication is key, but it's gotta be the right kind. Reviewing the plan and stakeholder register is the way to go, not just sending a gazillion emails.

A) Ah, the old 'review the plan' trick. Classic program manager move, but it just might work in this case.

D) Notify the executive sponsor and update the issue log? Nah, that's like putting out a fire with a squirt gun. You gotta get to the root of the problem first.

I'd go with C) The stakeholder engagement plan and matrix will give the program manager a clear picture of who's unhappy and why.
