Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Approves or rejects changes to project scope and budget → Project Sponsor 2. Completes assigned work packages and deliverables → Project Team 3. Develops the project schedule and manages day-to-day execution → Project Manager 4. Provides funding and removes organizational obstacles → Project Sponsor

Explanation

The project sponsor provides funding, removes organizational barriers, and approves major changes. The project manager develops plans and manages execution. The project team completes the actual work. Note that two items match to Project Sponsor, demonstrating the sponsor's strategic oversight role.

**Why not A:** This option incorrectly assigns scope and budget approval to the Project Team and work package completion to the Project Manager. The Project Team executes work packages, while scope and budget approvals are a sponsor-level responsibility.

**Why not B:** This option incorrectly assigns work package completion to the Project Manager and schedule development to the Project Team. The Project Manager develops and manages the schedule, while the Project Team performs the actual deliverable work.

**Why not C:** This option incorrectly assigns every responsibility to the wrong role. The Project Manager does not approve scope and budget changes (that is the sponsor), the Project Sponsor does not complete work packages (that is the team), and the Project Team does not provide funding (that is the sponsor).
