Explanation

A preliminary scope statement is created during project initiation to capture high-level goals, objectives, milestones, and requirements based on the information available at that time. The word 'preliminary' is the key signal - it is intentionally incomplete and is expected to be refined as the project progresses. A procurement needs assessment (B) is specific to vendor and purchasing decisions. Project success criteria (C) define how success will be measured, not the full scope. A work breakdown structure (D) is a detailed decomposition tool created after scope is better defined, not during early initiation.
