I think A is misleading, MPS is just one part of it.

I’m confused about A and B; I thought strategic planning was more comprehensive than just the MPS.

I think strategic planning is more about aligning different departments, so maybe B is correct?

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about how to calculate the planned value here. I'll need to review my notes on earned value formulas.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. I know Problem Management and Change Management are related, but I'm not sure which specific activity is the connection.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know that WDM systems use multiple wavelengths, but I'm not totally clear on how that applies to bidirectional systems. I'll need to think it through carefully.

Ah, I see what they're getting at. Using a reinforcement schedule that matches the natural environment is probably the way to go to ensure the behavior sticks.
