Why each option

This question tests understanding of the fundamental principle that the project manager is solely responsible for Project Integration Management across all project knowledge areas.

AProject Integration Management is mandatory and more effective in larger projects

Project Integration Management applies to projects of all sizes, not just larger ones; it is neither mandatory only for large projects nor inherently more effective in them.

BProject Integration Management and expert judgment are mutually exclusive

Expert judgment is a primary tool and technique used within Project Integration Management processes, making it complementary rather than mutually exclusive.

CProject Integration Management is the responsibility of the project managerCorrect

According to the PMBOK Guide, Project Integration Management is explicitly the responsibility of the project manager and cannot be delegated. The project manager is accountable for integrating all project components - scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, communications, risk, procurement, and stakeholders - into a coherent whole to achieve project objectives.

DProject Integration Management excludes the triple constraints if cost performance index (CPI) equals zero

Triple constraints (scope, schedule, cost) are always relevant to Integration Management regardless of the Cost Performance Index value; a CPI of zero would indicate a critical performance issue requiring immediate integration attention.
