Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: 1. Provides funding and high-level direction for the project → Project Sponsor 2. Creates the project schedule and manages day-to-day activities → Project Manager 3. Executes assigned tasks and produces deliverables → Project Team 4. Approves or rejects major scope changes → Project Sponsor

Explanation

The project sponsor provides resources and strategic direction, including approval of major changes. The project manager handles tactical planning and daily management. The project team performs the actual work to create deliverables. Note that two items correctly match to Project Sponsor, as sponsors handle both funding/direction and change approval.

**Why not A:** This option incorrectly assigns day-to-day schedule management to the project team and task execution to the project manager. The project manager creates schedules and manages daily activities, while the team executes the work.

**Why not B:** This option assigns funding responsibility to the project manager and day-to-day management to the project team, both of which are incorrect. The sponsor provides funding and the project manager handles daily management.

**Why not D:** This option reverses the sponsor, manager, and team roles entirely. The project team does not provide funding, the sponsor does not manage daily schedules, and the project manager does not approve major scope changes.
