Answer: C

Explanation:

As the life of the project draws towards its end, there’s often an increase in the number of change requests. When change requests are made towards the end of a project, however, the cost and impact of the change increases significantly.

Answer D is incorrect. It’s ideal for change requests, if they must happen, to happen at the launch of the project, not just at the end.

Answer A is incorrect. The best answer is that change requests must happen towards the end of project execution, not just project planning. Planning spans the entire life of the project.

Answer B is incorrect. Scope review happens early in the project and changes early in the project are easier to incorporate and manage than changes at the end of the project.
