Though it is out of PMBOK,
Though it is out of PMBOK, and checking your language/grammar also.
PMBOK p352 says
Effective communication means providing only the information that is needed.
in content - defination of work is elaborated.
by pmbok 4 - there is no any specific defination of work -it is broad term.
Question is from old stuff.
Option A is more informative.

The question pertains to "effective delegation," but u addressed "effective communication."
Nonetheless, i can't find where PMBOK (4th edt) discussed "delegation" as a subject matter... or i would be glad for directions.

Effective delegation
THough PMBOK does not mention Delegation in Appendix G - Interpersonal SKills, it is an important topic in the exam. In the recent past, there have been a lot of questions on this topic.
Of the options listed, I would say that Option B is correct.
It is very important to provide the list of milestones to the person to whom work has been delegated to deliver the deiverables. It should not be necessary to sstate the steps needed to accomplish the work, hence Option A and D are ruled out.
Kindly let me know what is the correct answer?

every option itself is
every option itself is considering
Effective Delegation involves Effective Communication
now PMBOK does not tell about what is delegation or effective delegation but says about - what is effective communication.
Means in question to define an Delegation , you are being said to define - an effective communication
And according to pmbok -- An Effective communication - is to convey only what is required.
Now again look all options - every option is repeating phrase -- "a clear definition of work to be done"
Means among these options, you have to select best definition of work ----- in light of definition of effective communication.
Again here is a question - work is a very wide term. and pmbok does define this.
------------------
my conclution is
why not we should forget such non -quality question.
