If I had a nickel for every time I saw an S-curve on a project management exam, I'd be rich enough to retire and skip this test altogether.

Diagram for all project uncertainties over time? What is this, a crystal ball? The S-curve is clearly about the probability distribution, hands down option A.

Best alternative solution with risks and opportunities? That's not what an S-curve is about. I'm going with option A, the probability distribution.

Hmm, I was thinking the S-curve shows the individual project risks, but option B doesn't quite capture that. Guess I need to review my Monte Carlo analysis knowledge.

The S-curve represents the cumulative probability distribution, which is exactly what option A describes. This is the correct answer.

Yes, that's right. The S-curve shows the probability of different outcomes over time.
