The principle of common cause variation states that there will always be variation in any process and this variation is referred to as "common cause." It is a natural part of the process and cannot be eliminated. CCPM already takes into account the fact that there will be variation in the project and seeks to manage it through buffer management. Therefore, there is no need to immediately call meetings or perform additional risk management on common cause variation. Option A is the best choice because it does not require any unnecessary actions.
