Option C is the best choice.

All skills mentioned and much more are mandatory for this kind of project in such a resource crunch situation but it also gives opportunities to people involved to enhance their skill sets. In my opinion the most suitable skill is c negotiation and influencing skill however no other can be undermined.

Option (C) Negotiation and influencing skills ----------
