Explanation

Monitor and Control Project Work (A) is correct because this process is specifically designed to track, review, and regulate the overall progress and performance of a project against the project management plan - it's the "watchdog" process that compares actual performance to planned performance across all knowledge areas.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B (Direct and Manage Project Execution) is about doing the work, not watching over it - it's execution, not oversight.
• C (Monitor and Control Risk) is a narrower process focused only on risk responses and identifying new risks, not overall project performance.
• D (Perform Integrated Change Control) handles reviewing and approving change requests, not monitoring performance against the plan.

Memory tip: Think of "Monitor and Control Project Work" as the project's dashboard - it gives you the big picture view of how the entire project is tracking. If you see words like reviewing, tracking, regulating, or performance objectives without a specific domain (risk, scope, cost), that's your signal to pick this process over the more specialized ones.
