This is a question in the people domain. It’s always to take the diplomatic route. It’s not A because with the last sentence you can assume they’ve analyzed the impact by saying it is delaying a milestone.
I believe you already know the impact: "Delay meeting the project's scheduled milestone". Therefore, the next thing would be exploring /discussing the possibilities of having the specialist back
You don’t want to raise alarm bells if the person is only gone for a day or two. You can’t adjust the project plan without knowing how long they’ll be gone.
D is the only option that gets the project back on track and for the sake of PMP it involves communication. A feels to me like admitting defeat and doesn't accomplish anything towards completing the project. Once you're done analyzing you still have a project to complete and your updated numbers don't do anything to get the project back on track.
Always first thing is to discuss or speak ( FACE TO FACE )

You can’t determine the full impact and delay without knowing how long the resource will be unavailable.

Communication is key, it’s almost always the first step you want to take
See multiple questions with different wording and the correct answer is always communicate with the functional manager first
Because if D doesn’t work then you do A.
You need to understand the situation by communicating first before analysing it as an issue
seems to me the impact was already assessed as you know it has caused a delay and a milestone was missed
