Explanation
The project scope statement is the document that formally defines and sets the project objectives, deliverables, boundaries, acceptance criteria, constraints, and assumptions. It establishes what the project will and will not deliver. The project charter (A) authorizes the project and names the project manager, but it provides only high-level information - the scope statement is where objectives are formally established in detail. The project schedule (B) describes when work will happen, not what the objectives are. The project organization chart (D) identifies reporting relationships and roles, not project goals. The scope statement is the reference document stakeholders use to confirm what the project is set out to achieve.
