Explanation
The project scope statement is reviewed during Perform Qualitative Risk Analysis because it reveals whether a project is a first-of-its-kind (unique, novel) or a recurrent (repetitive, familiar) type. First-of-its-kind projects carry significantly more uncertainty and inherent risk because there is little historical data or prior experience to draw from. A recurrent project, by contrast, benefits from lessons learned and established patterns. Understanding this distinction helps the team calibrate how aggressively to assess and manage risks. Option A is partially true but too generic; option C is incorrect because constraints are typically identified earlier; option D conflates quality requirements with scope, which is not the primary reason for this review.
