When are predictive life cycles preferred?

When the project outcome is uncertain
When the project is highly complex
When the product to be delivered is well understood
In a rapidly changing environment

The correct answer is: When the product to be delivered is well understood

Predictive life cycles are preferred when the product to be delivered is well understood. This is because in predictive life cycles, the project scope, time, and cost are determined in the early phases of the project. When the product to be delivered is well understood, it is easier to define the project scope, requirements, and deliverables upfront, making it suitable for a predictive approach. In contrast, options A, B, and D suggest situations where adaptive or agile approaches might be more suitable due to uncertainties, complexity, or rapid changes in the project environment.
