Why each option

PMBOK defines three core configuration management activities - Identification, Status Accounting, and Verification and Auditing. Costing belongs to Cost Management, not configuration management.

AConfiguration Identification

Configuration Identification is a valid activity that labels, documents, and establishes baselines for configuration items and their relationships within the project.

BConfiguration Item CostingCorrect

Configuration Item Costing is not a recognized configuration management activity in the PMBOK framework; estimating and tracking costs is a function of the Cost Management knowledge area and does not belong in the configuration management process.

CConfiguration Status Accounting

Configuration Status Accounting is a valid activity that records and reports the current and historical status of configuration items throughout the project lifecycle.

DConfiguration Verification and Auditing

Configuration Verification and Auditing is a valid activity that confirms configuration items and their documentation conform to defined requirements and baselines.
