Why each option
The project charter is a formal document that authorizes a project and provides the project manager with the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities. It typically includes the project's purpose and justification, which often stems from a problem statement.
Work assignments are detailed in later planning documents, such as the WBS and resource assignments, not typically in the high-level project charter.
A project charter outlines the project's purpose and objectives, often starting with a problem or business need that the project aims to address. The problem statement defines the core issue the project intends to resolve, providing the project's rationale.
A cost-benefit analysis is usually conducted before the charter to justify the project, or as part of more detailed business case analysis, not a primary component within the charter itself.
Feasibility assessments are typically performed before the project charter is approved to determine if the project is viable, rather than being a direct component of the charter.
