Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is that a project baseline is used as a control tool, while the project plan's execution and work results are measured against project baselines. A baseline is more than just a snippet of the project plan – it is the expectation of how the work should be done. Project baselines and project plans do change. Baselines can change along with the project plan.Discussion
