Explanation

The PMBOK Guide defines six processes within the Scope Management Knowledge Area: Plan Scope Management, Collect Requirements, Define Scope, Create WBS, Validate Scope, and Control Scope. Option C correctly lists all of these processes. Option A is incorrect because it includes 'Control Schedule' and 'Control Costs,' which belong to the Schedule and Cost Management knowledge areas, not Scope. Option B is incorrect because 'Develop Schedule' is a Schedule Management process, not a Scope process. Option D is also incorrect for including 'Control Costs' as part of scope management.
