D. Change driven lifecycle.
Answer: Option B is correct. Predictive life cycle is also called plan-driven lifecycle. In this lifecycle scope, cost and schedule are determined in the early stage of the project, before starting the work. Projects go through series of sequential or overlapping phases. Project is initiated and the team define the scope of the project, then creates the plan to develop the product, and execute the work. Any changes to the scope are managed through the change control process and it requires re-planning and formal acceptance. When the scope is well known then the project work is done by the predictive lifecycle.
