PK0-005 Practice Question: Which THREE are valid types of project…
Which THREE are valid types of project termination? (Choose three.)
⚠ Common exam trap
A common mix-up: candidates confuse 'integration' (a knowledge area or process) with a termination type, or they mistakenly think 'substitution' is a valid termination method when it is not listed in the official CompTIA Project+ (PK0-005) objectives.

Correct answer & explanation
✓
Addition
Addition is a valid type of project termination where the project is formally closed and its deliverables are absorbed into the ongoing operations of the organization, often becoming a new functional unit or product line. This is distinct from extinction, where the project ends because its objectives have been met, and starvation, where the project is terminated due to lack of resources or funding. In the context of the PMI framework and the PK0-005 exam, addition represents a successful transition from project to operations.
