According to me Answer is A, as other options can be managed and achieved, whereas if additional scope is added to the actual contract and amendment contract is signed then need to revise the implementation plan and execution so it will change project completion date.

I would select answer A.

In my opinion all of the other answers are not quite suited to answer by the Project Manager. Specially answer C is not suited at all as resource management or resource allocation is PM's responsibility and this matter wouldn't be a major issue for extending the project by another year. However, if the issue was an unavoidable, then all stakeholders should approve the extension.
