Why each option

The project charter authorizes the project at a high level and is not a scope completeness measurement tool; the scope statement, WBS, and WBS Dictionary are the documents used to verify and measure scope.

AProject charterCorrect

The project charter formally authorizes the project and appoints the project manager, but it contains only high-level goals and business justification rather than detailed deliverable descriptions needed to measure whether all scope has been completed; scope verification uses the scope baseline, which consists of the scope statement, WBS, and WBS Dictionary.

BProject WBS Dictionary

The WBS Dictionary provides detailed descriptions, acceptance criteria, and owner assignments for each work package, making it directly applicable to measuring scope completeness.

CProject scope statement

The project scope statement defines deliverables, exclusions, and acceptance criteria that serve as the baseline against which scope completion is measured.

DProject WBS

The WBS decomposes all project deliverables into measurable work packages and is the primary structure used to confirm that every element of project scope has been addressed.
