Answer options

• A. AC
• B. ROI
• C. BAC

The correct answer is AC, which stands for Actual Cost, indicating the total expenses incurred at that point in the project. ROI (Return on Investment) measures the profitability of the project, BAC (Budget at Completion) indicates the total budget, and CPI (Cost Performance Index) assesses cost efficiency, none of which directly answer the sponsor's request for spending.
