Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
The Project Manager has received a performance bonus from the Senior Supplier.
Why it's wrong here
Personnel remuneration has no bearing on project closure criteria.
- ✗
All risks in the risk log have been completely eliminated with zero residual risk.
Why it's wrong here
Residual risks are handed over as follow-on actions; eliminating all risk is rarely possible.
- ✓
Project objectives have been achieved, products handed over, and follow-on action recommendations documented.
Why this is correct
These are the mandatory completion criteria verified during Closing a Project.
- ✗
All benefits have been fully realized and measured in the operational environment.
Why it's wrong here
Benefit realization often occurs long after project closure; projects do not stay open until all benefits are realized.
