Why each option

A Resource Breakdown Structure (RBS) is a hierarchical visual chart that organizes and displays all resources required across project deliverables.

AWork breakdown structure

A Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) decomposes project scope into deliverables and work packages, not resources.

BResource breakdown structureCorrect

A Resource Breakdown Structure is a hierarchical decomposition of resources by category and type that management can use to visualize what physical, human, or material resources are allocated to project deliverables. It provides a structured overview that helps in resource planning, tracking, and reporting.

CRACI chart

A RACI chart assigns roles (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) to tasks, but does not visually depict the types or quantities of resources used.

DRoles and responsibility matrix

A Roles and Responsibility Matrix identifies who is responsible for which tasks, but it does not provide a hierarchical visual breakdown of all resources utilized.
