Explanation

Scope Verification is the process specifically designed to obtain formal acceptance of completed deliverables from stakeholders - it's the official sign-off step where customers or sponsors confirm the work matches what was agreed upon.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Quality Control) focuses on inspecting deliverables for defects and ensuring they meet quality standards - it's about correctness, not acceptance.
• C (Scope Control) manages changes to the project scope baseline going forward - it's reactive and ongoing, not a sign-off process.
• D (Close Project) finalizes all administrative activities and archives project documents - acceptance of scope should already be done before closing the project.

Memory tip: Think of Scope Verification as "Verified = Sign Here." The "V" in Verification = validated by the customer's signature. It comes before Close Project, so imagine a checklist: verify scope → get signature → then close.
