Explanation

In the PMI Program Management framework, integrated change control is the process of reviewing the impact of a proposed change across all program knowledge areas - not just the triple constraints (time, cost, scope). Knowledge areas include scope, schedule, cost, quality, resources, communications, risk, procurement, and stakeholder engagement. Because a change in one area ripples across others, integrated change control ensures a holistic assessment. Choices A, B, and D all describe only the triple constraints (time, cost, scope/quality), which is an incomplete view. The word 'integrated' signals that the review must span all knowledge areas, making C the most complete and accurate answer.
