Explanation

The scope statement is the formal project document that explicitly defines what is included in the project and - critically - what is excluded (out of scope). Clearly documenting both inclusions and exclusions prevents scope creep and removes ambiguity when customers waver about features. This creates a formal baseline that all stakeholders agree to. The project charter (A) is a high-level authorization document not suited for detailed feature lists. Verbally reminding stakeholders at meetings (C) is informal and non-binding. While a requirements document (D) lists included features, it typically does not formally document exclusions the way a scope statement does.
