This one's a real head-scratcher, isn't it? I mean, who changes the logo placement without getting the proper approvals? Option C is the way to go, but I can't help but feel a little sympathy for the developer - must be tough having to deal with such, shall we say, 'creative' stakeholders.

I know, it's frustrating when requirements change without proper approval.

I'm with the other candidates on this one. Option C is the way to go. Although, I can't help but wonder if the stakeholder in question is actually the developer's cousin or something. Just saying, you never know...

Ah, the classic 'a stakeholder asked for it' excuse. I've heard that one before. Option C is the right move here - gotta follow protocol, no matter how tempting it might be to just slap the logo in the corner and call it a day.

Option C is definitely the way to go. Changing requirements without following the established process can lead to all sorts of problems down the line. This needs to be handled professionally.

The developer's response is concerning. Changing a requirement without proper approval is a red flag. I think the best course of action is to follow the change control process, as per option C.
