• C. Local car dealers, factory workers, and corporate officers
• D. Vice president of logistics, potential customers, and corporate executives

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because the Project Management Office (PMO), third-party contractors, and agents play critical roles in the execution and management of the project. Options A, C, and D include stakeholders that are important but do not encompass the core management and operational elements that the PMO and contractors provide in a large-scale automotive program.
