What does a Work Breakdown Structure organize?

• A. Resources and costs by task.
• B. Project risks and issues.
• C. Quality metrics and acceptance criteria.
• D. Tasks and subtasks from a resource and cost standpoint.

Answer: (D)

A Work Breakdown Structure is about defining and organizing the scope of work into smaller, more manageable pieces. It breaks the project deliverables into tasks and subtasks in a hierarchical way, so you can see what work must be done and how it can be divided into components. This structure then provides a clear basis for estimating what resources are needed and what the costs will be for each piece of work, helping with budgeting and scheduling.

So the focus is on the actual work to be performed, broken down into tasks and subtasks, with attention to how that work will be allocated to resources and cost. That makes it the best fit for describing a breakdown of tasks and subtasks from a resource and cost standpoint.
