MOST likely explanation
Aditya has taken over a project from another project manager who has moved on from the firm. It is a functional organization and the different departments are often rather hostile to each other. The project is a large opportunity for the organization and involves activities that the organization has never done before.Aditya checks that project has adequate documentation, including an agreed-to project charter, project management plan, WBS, etc. The project is also on schedule and within budget. However, the atmosphere in meetings often seems tense, and offhand comments made by project members seem to indicate a high level of dissatisfaction within the project. Aditya reviews all the major project documents with the key stakeholders and get agreement that they are still accurate, but this does not seem to solve the problem. What is the MOST likely explanation for this situation?
Answers :
A) Conflictsand issues among the project team members and Aditya need to find them and put an approriate solution to end it
B) Lack of an effective sponsor and thus the project is viewed as a low priority.
C) Stakeholders have very different expectations about what the project is supposed to accomplish.
D) The organizational hierarchy and composition prevent people from working together effectively.

I feel the crux of the issue
I feel the crux of the issue from the larger picture goes beyond conflict among the PM member:
The project is a large opportunity for the organization, so it cannot be low priority-so B is out.
Different Depts r hostile to each other, which goes beyong friction among the team members. C is thus the most representative.

A
reviews all the major project documents with the key stakeholders and get agreement that they are still accurate
so answer can not be C, as the above line suggest stakeholders are in agreement about proj documents.
Correct answer should be A
