it is Management Reserve. It can't be cost variance because the total funding wasn't based on estimated cost but on planned budget.

Mr.Muhammad , you could be right in general but here in this case it is Positive Cost Variance ; but it is Cost Variance nevertheless and thanks for the invitation.

I think option A because

The difference between the Cost Baseline and Funding requirement at Project completion is

Management Contingency Reserve. BAC represents the revised Cost baseline for the project. So

Management Contingency Reserve is true.
