A. B. C. D.D.
Configuration item cost is not a valid activity for configuration management.
Cost changes are managed by the cost change control system; configuration management is concerned with changes to the features and functions of the project deliverables.
Configuration management is a process used to systematically manage and control the changes made to an organization's software and hardware configuration items (CI) throughout their lifecycle. It involves identifying and documenting the changes made to the configuration items and maintaining their integrity over time.
Configuration identification is the process of identifying all the configuration items that make up the system, assigning unique identifiers to them, and defining their relationships. It involves documenting the physical and functional characteristics of the CIs and creating baselines to track changes to the system.
Configuration verification and auditing involves the validation of the configuration items against their specification, ensuring that they meet the requirements set out in the project scope, and that they are configured correctly.
Configuration status accounting involves tracking the status and history of the configuration items throughout their lifecycle. This includes maintaining records of all changes made to the CIs, including their version history, and ensuring that all changes are appropriately authorized.
Configuration item costing is not a valid configuration management activity. It refers to the process of estimating the cost of each configuration item based on its requirements, design, and implementation. While cost estimation is an important aspect of project management, it is not directly related to configuration management.
In summary, all of the options provided in the question are valid configuration management activities except for configuration item costing.
