Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: Question the inclusion of the unrequested features and verify alignment with project objectives

Explanation

When reviewing project scope, it's important to question items that don't align with stakeholder needs or project objectives. Tariq should verify whether these features are necessary and understand their impact on resources before proceeding.

**Why not B:** Removing all unrequested features without investigation is too hasty. Some features may have been added for valid reasons such as regulatory requirements or technical dependencies. The first step is to question and verify alignment before making removal decisions.

**Why not C:** Accepting the scope as written without questioning unrequested features that require significant additional resources is poor project management. Regardless of sponsor approval, the project manager has a responsibility to ensure scope aligns with project objectives and resource availability.

**Why not D:** Adding the features to a backlog for future consideration does not address the immediate issue. If these features are in the current scope and require significant resources, they need to be evaluated now to determine if they should remain, be removed, or be deferred through proper change control.
