Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

✓
The stage is forecast to exceed its tolerance
Why this is correct
An Exception Plan replaces the current plan when tolerances are breached.
✗
A Team Manager reports a delay in the Work Package
Why it's wrong here
Minor delays are handled within stage tolerances; an Exception Plan is for tolerance breaches.
✗
The Project Board requests a new plan for the next stage
Why it's wrong here
A Stage Plan for the next stage is standard, not an Exception Plan.
✗
The Project Manager decides to change the project approach
Why it's wrong here
Changes in approach may require a plan update, but not necessarily an Exception Plan.
