Reveal correct answer

Correct answer: C

Explanation

A shift in the organizational structure would be considered an internal factor. The remaining options are external factors that the project team will likely have no control over. Changes in laws or regulations, mergers or acquisitions, or global or national economic changes are external factors that may trigger projects to be terminated early.
