Explanation

A Statement of Work (SoW) is the formal project document used to itemize each task or deliverable alongside its associated cost, giving stakeholders a clear, structured breakdown of what will be done and what it will cost. In ICT distribution design, the SoW serves as the foundational cost-estimate document because it captures scope, tasks, and pricing in one authoritative reference.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B. Spreadsheet - A spreadsheet is an application (e.g., Excel), not a document type; you might build the SoW inside a spreadsheet, but the document itself is still a SoW.
• C. Worksheet - A worksheet is an informal working document used during calculation or planning, not the formal deliverable given to a client or stakeholder.
• D. Database - A database is a data-storage system, not a project document type used for cost presentation.

Memory tip: Think SoW = "Shows our Work" - it's the formal document that shows every task plus what each costs, making it the go-to cost-estimate output in ICT project planning.
