B.
Provide the junior team member with the methodology study guide for self-study.

Assigning amentorto a junior team member accelerates learning and integration, especially with unique or complex methodologies. PMI-PMOCP recognizes mentoring as an effective knowledge transfer and support mechanism, fostering quicker adaptation and improved performance.
