Correct answer & explanation

✓

Over budget and ahead of schedule

Over budget and ahead of schedule. CPI of 0.8 (<1) indicates the project is over budget, while SPI of 1.1 (>1) indicates it is ahead of schedule. Option A is incorrect because it states under budget and behind schedule, which is the opposite of both. Option B is incorrect because it states behind schedule, but the SPI shows ahead of schedule. Option D is incorrect because it states under budget, but the CPI shows over budget.
