• A. Initiation phase
• B. Planning phase
• C. Execution phase
• D. Closing phase

Answer: (A)

This question tests where you first define why the project is needed and whether it can work. The initiation phase is where you establish the project’s objectives and perform feasibility studies to justify moving forward. It involves clarifying purpose, identifying stakeholders, creating the initial business case, and authorizing the project with a charter. After this point, planning develops detailed objectives and plans, execution carries out the work, and closing wraps things up. So the described activities belong to the initiation phase.
