Answer: A - A work breakdown structure (WBS) is a project management tool used to define the steps needed to complete a project, the personnel to work on each task, and the cost of each task.

Unless it is used as part of a larger project tracking system, such as Microsoft Project or Primavera, it may be limited in providing the functionality for in-depth tracking of deliverables and resource management.
