As a project manager, I'd say Option D is the winner. Milestones mark the completion of crucial project activities.

Option B is too vague. Milestones are more specific than just reaching a 'significant delivery of project benefits'.

Haha, milestones are like the 'level up' moments in a video game. You can't just jump to the final boss without hitting those checkpoints!

Option D seems the most accurate description of a milestone. It's a key project activity that needs to be completed to reach the overall project goal.
