Explanation

Exit criteria are the specific conditions that must be satisfied before a project phase can be formally closed and the project can proceed to the next phase (or be fully closed). They serve as the measurable gates that govern phase transitions. 'Purpose' (A) explains why the project exists. 'Approval requirements' (B) identify who must sign off on deliverables or decisions. 'High-level requirements' (D) describe what the project must produce. Only exit criteria explicitly define the conditions under which a phase ends - making them the component that controls phase closure.
