Explanation

Close Project or Phase is correct because this is where all project deliverables are formally verified and confirmed as complete before the project or phase is officially closed. This process ensures deliverables have been accepted, lessons learned are captured, and all contractual obligations are fulfilled.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Develop Preliminary Project Scope Statement): This is an initiating-phase activity focused on defining what the project will produce - deliverables don't yet exist to verify.
• C (Develop Project Charter): Also an initiating process that authorizes the project; it is far too early in the lifecycle for any deliverable verification.
• D (Create WBS): A planning process that decomposes scope into work packages - again, no deliverables exist yet to verify.

Memory tip: Think of the project lifecycle as "plan it → build it → check it → close it." Verification of deliverables is the last check before you officially shut the door - which maps directly to Close Project or Phase. If you see "verification," "acceptance," or "sign-off" combined with finality, think closing.
