Explanation
The Configuration Management System (CMS) is responsible for evaluating, testing, and documenting changes to the project scope - specifically managing the technical and administrative direction of a project's products and components. It identifies and documents functional and physical characteristics, controls changes to those characteristics, and records/reports change processing and implementation status. While Integrated Change Control (B) governs the overall change approval process, it is the CMS that handles the technical evaluation, testing, and documentation of changes. The Project Management Information System (A) is a broader toolset for collecting and distributing project information, and Scope Verification (C) is the process of formally accepting completed deliverables - neither is responsible for change evaluation and documentation.
