Thanks Raza82 and sspawar for your inputs. Indded the answers are 1D; 2A

More specifically, in q1 they are still in compilling lesson learned while in q2 they hv jst completed lesson learned. After archiving lesson learned, releasing resources, u would want to close the project.

For Q2: "Compilled Lesson learned" would also be a good answer, right? That's in the absence of "closing project or phase."

What do u guys think.

in the second question it is specifically asked "what process", so out of 42 process, closing process is the best option......

 I agree it may good learning, how to answer questions. how little difference can make an answer different.

But in question 1 little clarity may be created - if last line little were modified : "What activity they are performing?"  

because line  - "what they are doing: : is sounding a broader meaning, which may include  option  A and D both.
