Answer: C

Explanation:

Configuration Status Accounting (CSA) involves recording and reporting the status of configuration items throughout the lifecycle of a project.

This includes:

Status of Configuration Items: Information about the current state of items, including version numbers and change histories.

Baselined Items: Items that have been formally approved and serve as a basis for further development.

Changes and Updates: Documenting any modifications made to the baselined items.

CSA ensures that all stakeholders are informed about the status and history of configuration items.
