D. Accept only those changes that are approved by the change control board (CCB) prior to being implemented. By establishing a clear change management process, the project manager can ensure that all changes to the project scope are properly reviewed and approved before being implemented. This helps to prevent scope creep and ensures that changes to the project are aligned with the project goals and objectives.

Mainly because of that last part, where it says there'll be no changes afterward. Almost every project never goes 100% according to plan, you may have a vendor screw up, lose key employees, basically all types of environmental factors could affect your project, so in many cases, change is needed. Scope creep is them adding to the original vision, and that is easily mitigated with a change control process.
