Why each option

Project Cost Management consists of exactly four PMBOK processes: Plan Cost Management, Estimate Costs, Determine Budget, and Control Costs.

ADevelop Costs, Estimate Costs, Determine Budget, Control Costs

'Develop Costs' is not a recognized PMBOK process name; the correct process for approximating costs is 'Estimate Costs,' making this option incorrect.

BDevelop Budget, Determine Budget, Determine Risks, Control Costs

'Develop Budget' and 'Determine Risks' are not valid PMBOK Cost Management process names; the correct terms are 'Determine Budget' and risk management belongs in a separate knowledge area.

CPlan Cost Management, Estimate Costs, Determine Budget, Control CostsCorrect

The PMBOK Guide defines four processes in Project Cost Management: Plan Cost Management (establishing policies and procedures), Estimate Costs (developing cost approximations), Determine Budget (aggregating estimated costs to establish the cost baseline), and Control Costs (monitoring project status and managing changes to the cost baseline). These four processes cover the complete cost management lifecycle.

DPlan Budget Management, Determine Budget, Create Cost Accounts, Control Costs

'Plan Budget Management' and 'Create Cost Accounts' are not PMBOK-defined processes; the correct planning process is 'Plan Cost Management' and cost account creation is a WBS-related activity.
