Answers
D.
Postpone recommendations for 6 months until the announcements are made
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

The best option for the team under these conditions is to identify and carefully document the assumptions for their recommendation, such as the expected impact of the regulatory changes, the risks and benefits of implementing the changes before or after the announcements, and the sensitivity of the results to different scenarios. This way, the team can communicate their findings and recommendations clearly and transparently, while also acknowledging the uncertainty and limitations of their analysis. This can help the decision makers to evaluate the trade-offs and make informed choices12.
