 Fast-tracking a project is a process of compressing the project schedule by overlapping tasks and working in parallel. This process is typically used for critical projects, and it is not necessary for Dennis to fast-track this project, as he has time to get the detailed requirements from his supervisor before manufacturing begins.

Should be Option: C (Progressive Elaboration - Start with what you know and keep increasing the scope / specifications). None other options suit the scenario.

C. Progressive Elaborations. At the beginning stages, when you are still ramping up the production of new products, its always safe to start slow, fix the non conformities, based on the new information that becomes available adjust and mofify the production lines and processes and when everything becomes clear, go full throttle on the production.

He could do it both ways with A and B

i think he shouldnt start the project without every thing being clarifiied so as not to acquire losses option A seems reasonable to me
