Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

The best way to gain alignment from a key decision maker who is neutral or detracting from a project is to set up a conversation with them to name the challenge and listen to their objections, as this shows respect and empathy and allows for mutual understanding and feedback. Asking the sponsor to speak to them on behalf of the project or emailing them reiterating project status may not address their concerns or motivations effectively.
