D all the way! You gotta be a problem-solver, not a problem-maker. Get those stakeholders to see eye-to-eye and watch the project fly.

Option A? Really? Sounds more like a recipe for disaster than a solution. Jumping in without addressing the underlying issues? Not my cup of tea.

Hah, cancel the project? Good one! C is about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Might as well just throw in the towel and go home.

I believe option B could also be effective. Inviting stakeholders to a CCB meeting can help address conflicts and misunderstandings.

D for sure! You gotta get to the root of the problem and make sure everyone's on the same page. Anything less and you're just putting a bandaid on a broken leg.

I think option B is the way to go. Get all those stakeholders in a room, hash out the issues, and come to a consensus. After all, communication is key to keeping a project on track.
