who may affect, be affected by, or perceive to be affected by a decision, activity, or
outcome of a project." But option comes closest.

Answer option a. is the correct answer, as shown on page 398 of the PMBOK.

5.

6.

Answer option b. Although the wording is not exact, answer option b. correctly
paraphrases the benefit of the Identify Stakeholders process, as presented on page 393 of
the PMBOK. Answer option a., "Provides a clear and do-able plan for interacting with
stakeholders in support of the projects interests," is an accurate description of the key
benefit of the Plan Stakeholder Management process (see PMBOK, page 399). Answer
option c., "Maintains - or possibly even increases - both the efficiency and the
effectiveness of stakeholder engagement activities," is a fair description of the key benefit
of the Control Stakeholder Engagement process (see PMBOK, page 409). And answer
option d., "Helps the Project Manager to increase the support of supportive stakeholders
and minimize resistance of negative stakeholders," accurately restates the key benefit of
the Manage Stakeholder Engagement process (see PMBOK, page 404).
