A project Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a tool used to progressively divide the project deliverables into smaller and more manageable work packages. It helps to ensure that all the work required for the project is identified, organized and properly scheduled. Option A is an organizational chart depicting who will perform project work, which is not the same as a WBS. Option B is a schedule that depicts when work will be performed, which is also not the same as a WBS. Option D is a list of activities to complete project work packages, which is similar to but not the same as a WBS.
