Correct answer: Review the resource management plan and provide mentoring to the new team member if necessary.
Why this is the answer
The resource management plan details team roles, responsibilities, and reporting relationships, making it the most direct source for clarifying expectations. Mentoring is a proactive way to integrate new team members and address their specific needs. Recommending training is premature; the immediate need is clarification of current project responsibilities. Telling them to review the RACI matrix before asking for help is unhelpful and unsupportive for a new team member. While the project charter and stakeholder engagement plan provide project context, they don't detail individual roles and responsibilities as thoroughly as the resource management plan.
