Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Ignore the corporate strategy shift until the project officially closes.
Why it's wrong here
Ignoring strategic misalignment violates corporate governance and PRINCE2 principles.

Transfer the project to the Senior Supplier to operate as commercial work.
Why it's wrong here
Suppliers do not absorb unaligned internal projects.

Halt the project through premature closure because business justification no longer exists.
Why this is correct
Projects must have continuous business justification; if alignment is lost and cannot be restored, the project should be stopped.

Continue the project because it is on time and under budget.
Why it's wrong here
Meeting time and cost targets is irrelevant if the business justification no longer exists.
