Answer: B

Explanation:

Earned Value Analysis (EVA) is a project management technique used to measure project performance and progress. It integrates project scope, time, and cost data to provide accurate forecasts of project performance.

Planned Value (PV): The estimated value of work planned to be done.

Earned Value (EV): The value of work actually completed.

Actual Cost (AC): The actual cost incurred for the completed work.

Using these metrics, EVA can help project managers assess whether they are ahead or behind schedule and within or over budget.
