Explanation

Product scope description defines the features, functions, and characteristics of the deliverable itself - making B correct. It answers "what does the product look like and do?" not "what is the project doing?"

The distractors each describe a different, specific artifact: A (gaining stakeholder support) is the purpose of stakeholder engagement and communication planning; C (describing the project in great detail) is the role of the project scope statement, which covers project work, deliverables, and boundaries; D (formally authorizing the project) is the exclusive job of the project charter.

Memory tip: Think "product scope = product's DNA" - it captures what the product is, while project scope captures what the team does to create it.
