Question

an organization building a group of houses has submitted a request for bid to architects. one of the bidders is the brother of one of the projects team members. what should the team member do? ensure the brother gets the bid over the other architects do nothing tell the brother not to submit the bid disclose the sibling relationship to the project manager

Explanation:

In project management and ethical business practices, when a team member has a conflict of interest (like a family member bidding on a project), the ethical and proper action is to disclose the relationship to the relevant authority (project manager) to ensure transparency and avoid bias. The other options are unethical or inappropriate: ensuring the brother gets the bid is favoritism, doing nothing hides the conflict, and telling the brother not to bid is not addressing the conflict of interest properly in a professional context.

Answer:

D. Disclose the sibling relationship to the project manager
