Why each option
In project management, change requests are formal proposals to modify any aspect of the project and can result from corrective actions, preventive actions, and defect repair - but not from inspection itself.
Preventive actions are taken to reduce the probability of negative future events and must be formally documented as change requests to the project management plan.
Inspection is a quality control tool used to examine work to determine whether it conforms to documented standards - it produces measurement results and may identify defects, but the inspection activity itself is not a change request.
Defect repair involves identifying and fixing flaws in a project component and requires a formal change request to authorize the rework or replacement.
Corrective actions bring future project performance back in line with the project management plan and must be submitted as change requests for approval.
