Explanation

Activity sequencing is the process of identifying and documenting relationships among project activities, and its primary output is the Project Network Diagram (C) - a visual representation showing the logical sequence and dependencies between activities (e.g., a Precedence Diagramming Method chart). This diagram is the core deliverable because it directly results from ordering activities and establishing their relationships.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Responsibility Assignment Matrix): This maps team members to WBS components - it's an output of resource planning, not sequencing.
• B (Work Breakdown Structure update): The WBS is created during scope definition/decomposition, not sequencing. Sequencing assumes the WBS already exists.
• D (Mandatory dependencies list): This is an input to activity sequencing (it informs how activities must be ordered), not an output of it.

Memory tip: Think of sequencing as "drawing the roadmap." The network diagram is that roadmap - it's what you produce when you connect the dots between activities. If you remember "sequencing = network diagram," you'll always pick C.
