When developing the project schedule, a project manager uses decomposition and rolling wave planning techniques in this process:

Explanation

Note: The stated answer of B, C, D appears to contain an error. Per the PMBOK Guide, decomposition and rolling wave planning are tools and techniques explicitly listed under Define Activities (B). Decomposition breaks work packages into schedule activities, and rolling wave planning allows progressive elaboration of near-term activities in detail while future activities remain at higher levels. Estimate Activity Durations (C) uses techniques like analogous estimating, parametric estimating, and three-point estimating - not decomposition or rolling wave planning. Collect Requirements (D) belongs to Project Scope Management, not Schedule Management. The best single correct answer supported by the PMBOK Guide is B - Define Activities.
