Correct answer & explanation

✓

Submit the change request to the change control board

In project management, any change that impacts the budget must follow the formal change control process. The project manager should submit the change request to the change control board (CCB) for evaluation and approval, as the CCB has the authority to approve or reject changes that affect cost, scope, or schedule. This ensures that all impacts are assessed and that the project remains aligned with its baseline.
