Which of the following indicators should you use to determine whether or not you need to notify the sponsor?

Dear Gabe,
I think the correct answer is indeed the one you mention but then there’s a mismatch with the letters.
In any case, thank you very much for your daily question, it’s a great way for all confirmed or potential PMPs to continuously improve.
Best Regards,
Cyrille
