Explanation

Role-based assignments (C) are the mechanism that enables automatic task assignment when a project is created from a template - by mapping tasks to roles rather than specific individuals, the system can instantly assign work to whoever holds that role in the new project context, requiring no manual intervention.

Predecessors (A) define task sequencing and dependencies, controlling when tasks become active, not who gets assigned to them. Task durations (B) set estimated effort or time windows, which affects scheduling but has no bearing on who a task is routed to. Queue definitions (D) govern how incoming work items are organized and prioritized in a work queue, which is a separate concept from direct task assignment within a templated project.

Memory tip: Think "role = placeholder for a person" - templates are reusable precisely because they assign to roles, not names, letting the system fill in the actual person automatically each time.
