Explanation

Tailoring is necessary because every project is unique in its context, size, complexity, constraints, and organizational culture. The PMBOK Guide is a framework - not a prescriptive mandate - so the project team selects the tools, techniques, inputs, and outputs that are appropriate for their specific situation. Options A and D are incorrect because they suggest applying all PMBOK elements to every project, which is not the intent. Option C incorrectly implies all processes apply universally. The key concept is selective, context-appropriate application of the framework.
