Why each option

Even when a project ends unexpectedly, a project manager must perform a full project close out to ensure all administrative, contractual, and knowledge transfer activities are completed.

ACreate an end document to add to the file before moving on to another project.

While creating an end document is part of closure, option C is more comprehensive, covering all aspects of formal project close out, not just a single document.

BCreate a document identifying the negative impact of the early project ending to give to the

Focusing solely on the negative impact is not the primary purpose of project closure; a complete close out encompasses all aspects, positive and negative, and lessons learned.

CPerform project close out with full documentation and review.Correct

A comprehensive project close out, regardless of the project's success or unexpected termination, is crucial for documenting lessons learned, archiving project records, completing contractual obligations, and formally releasing resources.

DPerform a limited project close that consists of releasing team members.

A limited close that only releases team members is insufficient; formal project closure involves many other critical steps like financial reconciliation, contract closure, and knowledge transfer.
