Why each option
Expert judgment contributes estimated lead times drawn from lessons learned as a key input when developing the resource management plan.
Geographic distribution of facilities and resources is an enterprise environmental factor (EEF) that serves as an input to resource planning, not something provided specifically by expert judgment.
Physical resource management policies and procedures are organizational process assets (OPAs), not outputs of expert judgment applied during planning.
Experts with prior project experience bring knowledge of how long it typically takes to acquire, onboard, or transition resources - including lead times for procurement or staffing actions. This historical perspective, rooted in lessons learned, directly informs realistic resource planning decisions that could not otherwise be estimated without domain experience.
Templates for the resource management plan are also organizational process assets - pre-existing artifacts available to the team - not something expert judgment generates.
