B.Let the stakeholder know that the current schedule will require updates, and continue with periodic reviews to discuss the updates.
C.Inform the stakeholder that there will be a 10-day delay in the schedule to onboard the new supplier, but critical path tasks will be fast tracked.
D.Communicate to the stakeholder that using the new supplier will require a restart at the beginning of the next planning phase.
