Explanation

NOTE: The given answer of D (Project Resource Management) appears to be an error in this question. Per PMBOK, closing contracts is performed under Project Procurement Management (Close Procurements process), and closing the phase is performed under Project Integration Management (Close Project or Phase process). The most defensible correct answer is A (Project Integration Management), because the Close Project or Phase process requires that all contracts be verified as closed before the phase can be formally closed - making Integration Management the knowledge area that oversees both activities in sequence. Resource Management has no role in closing contracts or phases.
