C . Initiation stage and at least one other management stage to cover the remainder of the project
D . Start up stage, initiation stage and a closing stage

Answer: A

Explanation:

A PRINCE2 project should consist of a start-up stage, an initiation stage, and at least one other management stage to cover the remainder of the project. This structure ensures that the project is properly initiated and planned before entering into a series of management stages where the work is executed and completed, followed by a closing stage.
