A. B. C. D.D.
The non-stakeholder's request to add certain items to a project that was already underway impacts the scope constraint of the project the MOST.
The project management triangle, also known as the triple constraint, includes three key constraints that project managers must balance: time, cost, and scope. Schedule is often used interchangeably with time.
The scope constraint refers to the work that must be completed to deliver a project's desired outcome. It defines the project's boundaries and outlines what will be included in the project's deliverables. A change in scope often impacts the project's timeline and cost, as well as the overall project management plan.
In this scenario, the non-stakeholder is requesting a change to the project's scope by adding new items to the project that was already underway. The project manager would need to determine the impact of the scope change on the project's timeline, cost, and other aspects of the project management plan.
Therefore, the change in scope would have the greatest impact on the project, making the answer C. Scope, the most appropriate answer.
