Answer and Explanation:
The Correct answer is B: Your project sponsor is referring to the Requirements Traceability Matrix as this contains all of the information given in this scenario. None of the other project documents listed as answer choices links requirements to their origin and traces them throughout the Project Life Cycle. Typical attributes used in the requirements traceability matrix include a unique identifier, a textual description of the requirement, the rationale for inclusion, owner, source, priority, version, current status (e.g. active, cancelled, deferred, added, approved), and date completed.
