ANSWER AND EXPLANATION:
The correct answer is B C
Explanation: A Control Account is a management control point where scope, budget, resources, actual cost and schedule are integrated and compared to earned value for performance measurement. Control accounts are placed at selected management points (specific components at selected levels) of the Work Breakdown Structure. A Work Package is a deliverable or project work component at the lowest level of each branch of the Work Breakdown Structure. Tasks are the results of further decomposition of work packages.
