• C. 1-->2-->3-->4-->5-->6-->9-->8-->7
• D. 1-->2-->3-->4-->5-->6-->7-->8-->9

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Option A is correct because it follows the logical steps of project management, starting with reviewing the project charter and culminating in the final schedule after all tasks and resources are accounted for. The other options either rearrange the steps incorrectly or miss important sequencing, which can lead to gaps in the project planning process.
