Explanation

A predictive (waterfall) approach is characterized by detailed, comprehensive upfront planning where the project scope, schedule, and cost are defined early. When a project manager determines that the product's characteristics and quality require exhaustive planning before work begins, the predictive approach is the appropriate recommendation. Adaptive and agile approaches embrace change and iterative delivery with minimal upfront planning, which contradicts the need for 'detailed and exhaustive planning.' A hybrid approach blends both, but the scenario calls specifically for the planning-heavy end of the spectrum.
