Answer

Brief Explanations:

In project management (a subfield of Business, specifically Management), when there are regulatory changes affecting project scope, the project manager should communicate with the client (shipping company) and discuss scope changes. "Gold plating" is unnecessary, and only informing about costs or delays without discussing scope changes is incomplete. Discussing scope changes with the client is the proper approach.

Answer:

The correct option is: "Inform the shipping company and discuss the changes to be made to the scope" (the option with the blue highlight and radio button selected, which is the second option in the list).
