Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Step 1: Identify scope boundary -- C clearly defines project review scope.
  2. Step 2: Check for individual ownership -- C uses 'I' throughout.
  3. Step 3: Look for specific metrics -- C quantifies improvement from 60% to 95% on-time delivery.
  4. Step 4: Exclude options with manager assignment (A, D) or 'we' language (B).
Quick Trick: I + scope + metric = strongest
