A. Use a work breakdown structure (WBS) to create a project schedule based on the project and resource requirements. By using a work breakdown structure (WBS), the project manager can break down the project into smaller, manageable tasks and activities. This allows for a clear understanding of the project scope and helps in identifying potential areas of rework. By creating a project schedule based on the WBS, the project manager can allocate resources efficiently and ensure that tasks are completed in a logical sequence.

A does not help to reduce rework. use WBS to develop dependency and activities schedule but does not mean to improve efficiency. I selected D because if it is daily stand up meeting with stakeholder (the 3 question, what you did in yesterday, what you plan to do today and any impediment) can have a better planning (management plan) , improve efficiency via transparency and remove impediment have a build-in quality control which is proactive --> reduce rework. I selected D
