Correct answer & explanation

✓

Manage closely

The stakeholder register entry indicates the sponsor has high power and high interest in the project. According to the power/interest grid, stakeholders in this quadrant should be 'managed closely' to ensure their expectations are met and they remain engaged. This approach aligns with PMI's stakeholder engagement best practices for key decision-makers.
