I’m confused because all options seem relevant, but I think B captures the essence of what a project management plan should do.

I feel like D is too specific; it seems more like a detail rather than the main purpose of the plan.

I remember a practice question that emphasized documentation, but I’m not sure if that makes A or C the right choice here.

I think the main purpose is about aligning the project sponsor and manager, so I’m leaning towards B.
