I'm a bit confused by the wording of these options. I'm not sure if the plan is exclusively for linear project life cycles or if it's more broadly applicable. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Okay, I think I've got it. The integrated project management plan is meant to provide a detailed overview of the project, including the why, what, when, who, how, where, and how much. Option D seems to capture that best.
