Selected Answer: C

C. Gold plating. Gold plating in project and program management refers to adding extra features or enhancements that were not part of the original scope or requirements. These additions are made without corresponding requests from the customer and often without any additional benefit to them. While these enhancements might seem like improvements, they can lead to wasted time and resources, as well as potential scope creep, without adding value from the customer's perspective.
