I feel confident about 10. The guide is pretty clear on that.

I’m pretty certain it’s 10 knowledge areas, but I guess that’s not an option here. I should have reviewed more!

I'm feeling good about this one! The PMBOK Guide outlines 9 distinct knowledge areas, if I'm remembering correctly. I'll go with C and hope I've got the right number.

Ugh, I'm drawing a blank on this one. The PMBOK has so many different components, I'm having trouble remembering the exact breakdown. I'll have to make an educated guess here.

I'm pretty confident the answer is 12 knowledge areas in the PMBOK Guide. That number seems familiar from my project management course. Let me double-check, but I'm leaning towards D.

Okay, I know the PMBOK Guide covers a lot of ground, but I can't quite recall the specific number of knowledge areas off the top of my head. I'll have to think this through carefully.
