• D. Define, Validate, and Control Scope; Control Costs; Manage Stakeholder Engagement; and keep budget under control.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it includes all essential steps for managing project scope, such as planning scope management, collecting requirements, defining, validating, and controlling scope, and creating a work breakdown structure (WBS). Options A, B, and D include relevant tasks but omit critical components necessary for comprehensive scope management, thereby making them less effective.
