Explanation

Monitor and Control Project Work (D) is correct because this process is specifically responsible for tracking, reviewing, and reporting overall project progress against the performance baseline - which includes providing forecasts to update cost and schedule information as the project evolves.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• (A) Perform Integrated Change Control handles reviewing and approving/rejecting change requests - it responds to changes but doesn't generate forecasts.
• (B) Direct and Manage Project Execution is about actually doing the work defined in the project plan, not monitoring or forecasting performance.
• (C) Monitor and Control Risks focuses specifically on tracking identified risks and identifying new ones - it doesn't encompass the broader cost/schedule forecasting function.

Memory tip: Think of "Monitor and Control Project Work" as the project's dashboard process - it's where you look at where you are, compare it to where you planned to be, and project where you'll end up. Forecasts (EAC, ETC) are dashboard outputs. If a question mentions forecasts, variances, or performance reports at the project level, think D.
