Explanation

According to PMBOK, the tools and techniques for the Develop Project Charter process are: expert judgment, data gathering, interpersonal and team skills, and meetings (D). Expert judgment is used to assess inputs; data gathering techniques (brainstorming, focus groups, interviews) help collect information; interpersonal and team skills (conflict management, facilitation) aid collaboration; and meetings bring stakeholders together to define the charter. Options A and C incorrectly include 'scope statement,' which is an output of Define Scope-a later planning process-not a tool for the charter. Option B incorrectly includes 'cost baseline,' which is produced during cost planning, well after the charter is developed.
