Why each option

Projects are initiated to solve specific problems or address opportunities, and the objectives in the project charter define what the project aims to achieve to resolve that underlying problem. The objectives essentially state the desired future state.

AScope statement

The scope statement defines the project's boundaries and deliverables, which are derived from the objectives, not resolved by them.

BAssumptions

Assumptions are factors believed to be true for planning, and while objectives are set based on assumptions, the objectives do not resolve the assumptions themselves.

CRisks

While project objectives may contribute to mitigating certain risks, their primary purpose is to achieve specific goals stemming from a core problem or opportunity, not solely to resolve risks.

DProblem statementCorrect

A project is typically undertaken to address a specific business problem, seize an opportunity, or fulfill a need. The objectives outlined in the project charter explicitly define the goals and desired outcomes that the project aims to achieve, which directly resolve the problem statement that initiated the project.
