C. Project is under budget and ahead of schedule
Favorable cost variance means the actual costs incurred is less than the budget, while positive schedule variance would mean that the project is going ahead of schedule/timeline.
NOTE: I am assuming "POSITIVE" is taken literally as favorable. Because unlike in most of managerial accounting books, they would present computation of cost variance as Actual less Budget. If it resulted to positive variance, it means it is unfavorable variance. If this is the case, the answer would be different.
