- B. Rely on informal custom instead of the applicable rule, control, or standard.
- C. Skip verification because the previous case had the same answer.

Correct Answer
A. The best answer is to select the response that protects project value, uses appropriate tailoring, engages stakeholders, and follows ethical project management practice for the resource planning scenario.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because resource planning is tested by asking candidates to select the response that protects project value, uses appropriate tailoring, engages stakeholders, and follows ethical project management practice. The distractors reflect common exam mistakes: ignoring context, using informal shortcuts, skipping verification, or applying a rule from the wrong domain.
