As a project manager, I'd say Option D is the winner. Milestones mark the completion of crucial project activities.

Option B is too vague. Milestones are more specific than just reaching a 'significant delivery of project benefits'.

Haha, milestones are like the 'level up' moments in a video game. You can't just jump to the final boss without hitting those checkpoints!

I'm leaning towards Option C. Milestones are often used to set important deadlines for the project team to hit.

Option D seems the most accurate description of a milestone. It's a key project activity that needs to be completed to reach the overall project goal.
