Explanation

Change requests (Choice A) are an OUTPUT of schedule control, not an input or tool that helps you perform it. When you conduct schedule control activities, you may discover variances that lead you to generate change requests - but the change requests themselves don't help you perform the control process. Performance reports, forecasts, and earned value management are all inputs or techniques that directly support schedule control: performance reports show actual vs. planned progress, forecasts estimate future performance, and earned value management quantifies schedule variance and performance indexes.
