Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C. Identify the activities, milestones and deliverables produced by a project

Explanation

Project planning is the forward-looking activity of deciding what will be done: breaking the work down into activities, fixing the milestones that mark the end of each stage and listing the deliverables to be handed over. That is exactly option 3. Keeping track of progress (option 1) and comparing actual against planned progress and cost (option 2) are project monitoring and control activities, carried out after the plan exists and used to revise it. Since option 2 is not a planning activity, the combined option 4 is wrong too. The answer is identifying activities, milestones and deliverables.
