Why each option

The project charter is a high-level document that formally authorizes a project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply resources, and it should clearly articulate the problem the project aims to solve. This enables approvers to understand the project's foundational purpose and necessity.

AThe specific budget needed to complete the project.

The project charter usually includes a high-level summary budget, not the specific detailed budget needed to complete the project, which is developed later in planning.

BHow the risk management plan will be mitigated.

The project charter typically includes high-level risks, but a detailed risk management plan and mitigation strategies are developed during the planning phase, not fully outlined in the charter.

CThe project's problem statement.Correct

The project charter is a formal document that authorizes the project and outlines its high-level objectives, scope, and key stakeholders. A core component of the project charter is the problem statement or business need, which explains why the project is being undertaken. This allows approvers to quickly grasp the fundamental issue the project is designed to address.

DHow the resources for the project will be assigned.

While high-level roles and responsibilities may be mentioned, the detailed assignment of resources is part of resource planning, which occurs after the charter is approved.
