A project manager is managing the scope of the project and creating a work breakdown structure (WBS) with the team members. How should the project manager organize the WBS?
Customer requirements and expectations form the scope baseline ( scope statement +WBS+ WBS Dictionary- Detailed description of each WBS element)
WBS is delivered oriented but does not form the bases of scope management by the PM
The project manager should organize the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) as D. Deliverable oriented. A deliverable-oriented WBS organizes and defines the total scope of the project, and represents the work specified in the currently approved project scope statement. Each descending level in the WBS represents an increasingly detailed definition of the project work. This approach helps ensure that no deliverables are missed and that all work performed is aligned with the project’s objectives. However, the project manager should also consider the specific circumstances and dynamics of the project and the team when deciding on the best way to organize the WBS
pmi say it is deliverable orientedPMI.

A WBS, as defined in the PMBOK® Guide—Third Edition is “a deliverable-oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables. It organizes and defines the total scope of the project. Each descending level represents an increasingly detailed definition of the project work. The WBS is decomposed into work packages. The deliverable orientation of the hierarchy includes both internal and external deliverables.”
D. Deliverable oriented
The Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) is a hierarchical decomposition of the total scope of work to be carried out by the project team to accomplish the project objectives and create the required deliverables. The primary purpose of a WBS is to organize and define the total scope of the project in terms of deliverables, so it is deliverable-oriented.
While other orientations (customer-oriented, team-oriented, cost-oriented) can have their merits, a deliverable-oriented WBS is a common and effective approach for breaking down the project's work into manageable components that directly align with the project's goals and final outcomes.
The Project Management Institute (PMI) Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK) defines the Work Breakdown Structure as a “deliverable oriented hierarchical decomposition of the work to be executed by the project team.”

Project scope statement is approval by customer which includes both project and product requirements. define project boundary. we decomposed the project scope statement into manageable components which is the work packages of WBS. You can find deliverable only, no activities, no cost, no duration. It is 100% rules, WBS is deliverable oriented, D is correct
