For the 1st Question:

Answer C is the correct and not answer D. Reason, the question just asks what will YOU do as a project manager, it is the responsibility of the project manager to raise a red flag(and a project manager can only raise a red flag within his organization) to his organization. And its the organization & the senior management of the organization's responsibility to take further decisission on wat and how to proceed on the issue...

For 2nd Question:

Option A. Resource leveling, is incorrect, as Resource Leveling is used to fragment the workload into smaller tasks and fulfilling them by optimally using the limited available resources through leveling.

Option B. Project team hiring, is incorrect as the project team or the members of the project team will not be involved as a part of the hiring process, the hiring process will be done by the project manager or the functional managers with the help of Human resource management plan.

Option D. Collect requirements, is out of this question completely, as the question very clearly states that the team is talking about resource that they want inorder to complete a task that they have in hand. 

So Option C. Plan Risk Responses, is the right option. Also when you identify a risk and discuss about it in a project meeting, you either try to accept or mitigate risk, In this case you accept the risk and you plan a responce for the identified risk, and the plan here is in the form of identifiying suitable resource to hande the risk.

For Question 3:

Option D. Project charter, is incorrect as the project charter has a high level definition of the project scope. In case of large project, you will have one project charter under which you have many sub porjects and seperate project plan for each sub project. So the project plan has all the relevent information related to the project scope & the deliverables.

For Questions 4 &5 its pretty simple (atleast my way of interpretting), the project manager spends 90% of time in communicating & 50% of his time in meeting, compared to others who are involved in the same project (others spend considerabelly less % of time compared to the project manager).

These are my explanations, if any1 has any other way of intrepretting things please correct me where ever I'am wrong.
