Explanation
Lessons Learned (B) is the formal process and document used to capture knowledge from a completed project - specifically what worked well and what did not. This knowledge is collected at project close and stored for use in future projects. Historical information (A) refers to documentation from past projects used as input to new ones - it is the result of lessons learned, not the process of capturing them. Assumptions (C) are things believed to be true at the start of a project and are not a knowledge-capture mechanism. Constraints (D) are project limitations, not a learning tool. Lessons learned is the correct PMI term for the activity described.
