Why each option
A Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) is the general framework that maps project team members directly to the work packages or tasks they are assigned.
A pie chart displays data as proportional slices of a circle and has no mechanism for mapping individual team members to specific task assignments.
A Responsibility Assignment Matrix (RAM) is explicitly designed to correlate project team members with specific work packages or deliverables, clarifying who is assigned to what. It serves as the overarching framework for tracking team member responsibilities and task ownership across the entire project.
A Gantt chart visualizes project tasks on a timeline to communicate schedule and duration, not the correlation between personnel and their assigned work.
A RACI chart is a specific sub-type of RAM that further classifies each assignment as Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, or Informed - it is a variant of RAM, not the broader category the question is describing.
