Why each option

Configuration management activities for scope changes include identification, status accounting, and verification and auditing, but not configuration item costing.

AConfiguration Identification

Configuration Identification involves selecting and documenting the functional and physical characteristics of configuration items, making it a core activity.

BConfiguration Verification and Auditing

Configuration Verification and Auditing ensures that configuration items conform to requirements and that records are accurate, which is a key part of configuration management.

CConfiguration Status Accounting

Configuration Status Accounting involves recording and reporting the status of configuration items and change requests, which is a fundamental activity in tracking changes.

DConfiguration Item CostingCorrect

Configuration Item Costing is not typically considered a core activity of configuration management itself; rather, it is a project financial management activity that might be performed on configuration items. Configuration management focuses on identifying, controlling, status accounting, and verifying/auditing changes to baselined configuration items, not on their direct cost analysis within the configuration management process.
