Why each option
The Configuration Management System (CMS) is responsible for managing, evaluating, testing, and documenting changes to a project's scope or system's configuration.
A Configuration Management System (CMS) systematically identifies, controls, and tracks all changes to a system's configuration items, including hardware, software, and documentation. It ensures that changes are evaluated, tested for impact, and properly documented to maintain system integrity and traceability throughout its lifecycle.
A Project Management Information System (PMIS) is a collection of tools for managing project data and processes, not specifically for technical change evaluation and documentation.
Scope Verification is the process of formalizing acceptance of completed deliverables by stakeholders, not the system for managing changes.
Integrated Change Control is the process that approves and manages changes, but the CMS is the underlying system that handles the detailed configuration management and documentation of those changes.
