Explanation
The project management plan is the primary document that defines how the project will be executed, monitored, controlled, and closed. It establishes the baseline and framework for all project work. Acknowledging the existence of a project and providing high-level information (B) describes the project charter. Authorizing the project manager to apply organizational resources (C) is also a function of the project charter. Providing organizational standards, policies, and procedures (D) describes organizational process assets (OPAs). The project management plan is distinct from the charter in that it details HOW the work will be done, not just what the project is.
