Selected Answer: B
B. Estimate at completion (EAC) To determine how much money is needed to complete a project, a project manager should use the "Estimate at Completion (EAC)." EAC is a forecasting technique that provides an estimate of the total cost of completing the project based on the project's performance up to a certain point. It considers the actual costs incurred, work performed, and any variances from the original budget.

I believe the thing to focus on for this question is the fact that Earned Value Analysis encompasses EAC as well as BAC making this the best answer.

The money needed to complete a project is given by ETC. EAC is the total expected money at the end of project. ETC is one of the possible parameters of EVA analisys. As ETC is not there then EVA is the most correct
