Correct answer & explanation
✓
Authorization to initiate a project
The Directing a Project process is used by the Project Board to make key decisions and exercise overall control. One of its key outputs is the 'Authorization to initiate a project', which formally allows the Project Manager to proceed from the Starting Up a Project process into the Initiation Stage. This authorization is documented in the form of the Project Initiation Documentation. Therefore, option B is correct.
