Here are the answers to the PMP® Practice Questions on Project Integration Management, which I have posted earlier. I have explained why the choice is correct. I have also given references to PMBOK® Guide, Sixth Edition, wherever it is relevant.
If you are yet to see the practice questions, please check out the questions here: PMP® Practice Questions [Project Integration Management].
Change Requests can be an input to only one process, which is Perform Integrated Change Control. Change Request, wherever generated in the project, has to be an input to this process. Please remember that only Perform Integrated Change Control process can review and approve/ reject the change requests.
Project Charter is the document that authorizes the existence of a project and empowers the project manager to obtain resources for the project. So, the project manager should show the project charter, which should convince the functional manager.
Describing the product, service or result boundaries, and acceptance criteria is the benefit of Define Scope Process. The remaining are all the benefits of Develop Project Charter process.
Ref: PMBOK Guide, Sixth Edition, Page 75 & 150
Projects are initiated by an entity external to the project such as a sponsor, program or project management office (PMO), or a portfolio governing body chairperson or authorized representative.
Ref: PMBOK Guide, Sixth Edition, Page 77
The business case describes the necessary information from a business standpoint to determine whether the expected outcomes of the project justify the required investment.
Ref: PMBOK Guide, Sixth Edition, Page 77
Acceptance criteria is included as part of Project Scope Statement, while the other three are typically seen in Project Charter.
Ref: PMBOK Guide, Sixth Edition, Page 155
Formal authorization of a project happens at the time of project charter, not at the kick-off meeting.
Ref: PMBOK Guide, Sixth Edition, Page 86
While you might be carrying out all the other choices with regards to change requests, the most important role of project manager is to work towards preventing unnecessary changes in the project.
From the question, you can understand that the Project Charter has already been developed. Next step is to develop the project management plan.
As per the PMI Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct, you should bring violations of the code to the attention of senior management at the company and possibly PMI. However, you should get the facts together and gather evidence before taking either of those steps.

Answer of 2nd question should be A --> As it is mentioned in Question, you have to negotiate with functional manager. So i think A represents the best Answer, If I will have to show the project charter, than what's the point of negotiation. Its just like giving order. This is my perception. Please correct me sir.
Thanks
Having a project charter does not mean that we can order functional managers? We still have to negotiate with the FMs to get the right resources at the right time in the right quantities.
