Explanation

These two terms have distinct meanings in the PMBOK framework. Verified deliverables are the output of the Control Quality process - they have been completed and checked for correctness against quality standards by the project team. Accepted deliverables are the output of the Validate Scope process - they have been formally reviewed and signed off by the customer or authorized stakeholder. The flow is: produce → verify (internal QC) → validate (customer approval) → accept. Options A and D have the definitions reversed. Option B incorrectly attributes verified deliverables to the Validate Scope process.
