Why each option
The configuration management system specifically governs changes to product features and functions, making it the correct component to review scope changes affecting product characteristics.
The cost change control system manages changes that affect the project budget and financial baseline, not the technical features and functions of the product.
The scope change control system manages changes to the project scope baseline defining what work is included, but the configuration management system is specifically responsible for product feature and function integrity.
Integrated change control is the overarching coordination process across all knowledge areas, not a specialized component focused on product technical features and functions.
The configuration management system controls and documents changes to the technical specifications, features, and functions of the project's deliverable or product. When a scope change request introduces additional deliverables or modifies product characteristics, the configuration management system evaluates the technical impact on the established product baseline, ensuring traceability and version control of product features.
