Why each option
Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is the project management technique used to decompose a project into smaller, more manageable components.
A Gantt Chart is a scheduling tool that displays tasks over time but does not itself divide the project scope into structured components.
A Pareto Chart is a quality tool that ranks defects or issues by frequency, not a technique for decomposing project scope.
A WBS hierarchically decomposes the total scope of a project into smaller, controllable work packages that can be scheduled, cost-estimated, and assigned. It is defined in PMBOK as the foundational tool for scope management and project decomposition.
Critical Path Method (CPM) is a scheduling technique used to identify the longest sequence of dependent tasks, not to break down project scope.
