Why each option

Closing a project kick-off meeting by reviewing action items establishes clear accountability and ensures that next steps are understood and owned.

ADiscuss the importance of the project scope.

Discussing project scope is a substantive agenda item for the body of the meeting, not an appropriate final closing topic.

BThank everyone for attending.

Thanking attendees is a courtesy that does not provide actionable guidance or contribute to project execution.

CDiscuss the action items and the importance of the items being completed as planned.Correct

Reviewing action items at the end of a kick-off meeting assigns ownership, confirms deadlines, and ensures every attendee leaves knowing their immediate responsibilities. This closing step is a best practice because it converts the discussion from intent to commitment, directly contributing to early project momentum.

DRemind everyone that you're the project manager if they have QUESTION NOs.

Reminding attendees that you are the project manager is presumptuous, does not add value, and is not a recognized best practice for closing a meeting.
