Haha, I was totally stuck between A and C at first. Reserve analysis? What is this, a geology exam? I'm with you all on D - analogous estimating is the way to go here. Who needs fancy statistical models when you've got good old-fashioned past project data, am I right?

You know, I was actually debating between B and D, but I think you both make a good case for D. Three-point estimating is more about accounting for uncertainty, while analogous estimating is all about leveraging historical information. Gotta go with D on this one.

Hmm, this seems like a tricky one. I'm torn between C and D, but I'm leaning more towards D. Parametric estimating uses statistical models and historical data to estimate, while analogous estimating is all about using similar past projects as a reference point. Seems like the best fit here.
