Check with the project management office (PMO) on the available resources to complete the activities.
Suggested answer: C

Explanation:

The team member himself cannot prioritize tasks or schedules. Team members are guided by their managers and in this case the team member has other obligations. The PM needs to speak to the functional manager to see if he can assign those tasks to someone else or he can work on those later. It is the functional manager's call to decide how to utilize the resource.
