Explanation

NOTE: The marked answer appears to be incorrect. The Milestone List and Risk Register (C) are INPUTS to the Develop Schedule process, not tools and techniques. The tools and techniques used in Develop Schedule per PMBOK include Schedule Network Analysis, Critical Path Method (CPM), Resource Optimization, Schedule Compression, and Agile Release Planning - making Answer A (Schedule Network Analysis and Critical Path Method) the correct tools and techniques answer. Activity List (B) is also an input, not a tool. For this process, always distinguish between inputs (documents used) and tools/techniques (methods applied).
