Explanation

Rolling wave planning belongs to Define Activities because it directly governs how activities are identified - near-term work is planned in detail while future work remains at a higher level until more information is available. It's a technique that shapes the activity definition process itself, making it a natural fit here.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B. Dependency determination belongs to Sequence Activities, where you establish relationships (mandatory, discretionary, external/internal) between already-defined activities.
• C. Schedule network template is an organizational process asset used in Sequence Activities to speed up network diagram creation - it doesn't help define what activities exist.
• D. Applying leads and lags also belongs to Sequence Activities, used to refine the timing relationships between activities once sequencing is underway.

Memory tip: Think of Define Activities as "what do we do?" and Sequence Activities as "in what order?" - Dependency determination, network templates, and leads/lags are all about order, so they belong to Sequence. Rolling wave planning is about how thoroughly you define activities now vs. later, so it stays in Define.
