Explanation

Estimating project scope directly addresses the definition being described - scope management is the practice of ensuring a project includes all the work required, and only the work required to deliver successful results. This phrase is the textbook definition of scope management, and "estimate project scope" is the only option tied to defining and bounding the work itself.

Options A (Identify Roles and Responsibilities) and C (Identify Resources and Availability) belong to resource management - they focus on who does the work and what is available, not on defining what work needs to be done. Option B (Develop Project Schedule) is a time management process concerned with when tasks happen, not whether the right tasks are included.

Memory tip: The phrase "all the work required, and only the work required" is your signal - it's the classic definition of scope. Any time you see that phrase on an exam, the answer involves scope management.
