Answer: DExplanation: Since the Smith County project officer is the sponsor, he's the person who is best suited to signing the charter. A project charter is typically approved and signed by the sponsor. Some projects are approved by key stakeholders, but they are never approved by project managers (since the project manager is only granted authority once the project is signed) or team members.
