A. A construction project that was completed
B. A construction project that was put on hold during the execution phase
C. A software project that was canceled during the execution phase
D. A software project that was canceled just during the planning phase

Answer: B. A construction project that was put on hold during the execution phase
All projects will require Close Project tasks to be completed at some point. However, when a project is placed on hold, the project manager does not have to complete these tasks, which may include final approvals and transitions. Projects that have been closed, regardless of whether they were canceled or completed, should have Close Project tasks finished immediately.]]></description>
