Answer: BExplanation: Did you recognize that answer D - "follow the administrative and contract closure procedures" - was talking about the Close Project process? You can't close the project if there's still a claim that needs to be resolved. When there's a dispute between a buyer and a seller, that's called a claim. Most contracts have some language that explains exactly how claims should be resolved - and since it's in the contract, it's legally binding, and both the buyer and seller need to follow it. Usually it's not an option to renegotiate a contract, especially at the end of the project after the work is complete, and lawsuits should only be filed if there are absolutely, positively no other options
