Question related to Process Group - PMP

Hello,

Please let me know the right answer for the following question:-

A project team member informs you that a particular task is taking much more time than what was budgeted. You are surprised because you had not anticipated this delay, and you call a status review meeting of your team to determine whether this variance requires an appropriate response. You are in which of the project management process groups?
 
Answers:-
A Initiating
B Executing
C Monitoring and Controlling
D  Planning

 

Please let me know the correct answer.

I feel its C.

But the sample test tells its B.

Please explain

It's still in Executing as team members still doing the tasks.

I agree with Anup.. the key word is  ""particular task is taking much more time"". Your execution phase hasnt completed yet...

C. Monitoring & Controlling

B: Executing

M&C happens thruout the proj...so u can not be in M&C only... it overlaps with all other process groups....

So when such question appear...

you hv to think of Intiating OR Planning OR Executing OR Closing
