Explanation

Closing is one of the five PMBOK Process Groups - Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling, and Closing - making C the correct answer. Scoping (A) is not a Process Group; "Scope" is a Knowledge Area (Project Scope Management), and defining scope is a process that lives within the Planning Process Group. Budgeting (B) is similarly a process within the Cost Management Knowledge Area, not a Process Group of its own. Quality (D) is another Knowledge Area (Project Quality Management), not a Process Group.

Memory tip: Use the acronym IP EMC - Initiating, Planning, Executing, Monitoring & Controlling, Closing - to recall all five Process Groups in order. If an answer choice sounds like a Knowledge Area (Scope, Cost, Quality, Risk, etc.), it's almost certainly a distractor.
