Explanation

A requirements traceability matrix (RTM) maps each approved requirement to the specific work products, test cases, and deliverables that fulfill it. By reviewing the RTM, the project manager can confirm that every requirement has a corresponding completed work product - ensuring nothing was missed before delivery. It does not confirm backlog story completion (A), which is an agile construct. While testing is related, the RTM tracks requirements-to-deliverable linkage, not test case quality (C). Task durations (D) are tracked in the schedule, not the RTM.
