Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Correct the defect and continue with the work package

The Team Manager should record the off-specification and escalate to the Project Manager as a problem.
- ✗
Inform the Project Board directly
