Why each option
The project sponsor holds the organizational authority and accountability to formally sign off on project closure documents, as the individual who authorized and funded the project.
Project team members execute project work but do not hold the authority to formally close a project on behalf of the organization.
The project manager administers the closure process and prepares closure documents but does not have final organizational sign-off authority.
End users may accept delivered product or service but are not responsible for signing the formal project closure documentation.
The sponsor is ultimately responsible for the project's business case and has the organizational authority to formally close a project by signing closure documents. This sign-off confirms that the project's objectives have been met and authorizes the release of remaining resources and personnel.
