Why each option
The project schedule documents task assignments including which resources are allocated to each specific task.
The project schedule contains detailed task-level information including start/end dates, dependencies, and resource assignments, making it the primary reference for identifying who is responsible for each activity. Modern scheduling tools such as Microsoft Project explicitly link resources to tasks within the schedule. This makes it the correct document to consult when verifying resource allocation per task.
The cost plan addresses budget allocation and financial planning but does not detail which human or material resources are assigned to individual tasks.
The scope statement defines project boundaries, deliverables, and exclusions but does not contain task-level resource assignments.
An impact assessment evaluates the effects of risks or changes on the project and is not a resource tracking document.
