Answer and Explanation:
The correct answer is C.

As a part of developing a project team, observation and conversation, and project performance appraisals are techniques used to discover additional training requirements and to develop individual training plans to optimize the team's performance. Training is conducted in the Develop Team process to improve individual competencies in order to increase the probability that project team members can successfully complete their project work. While Acquire Resources is to obtain necessary human resources for the project, it does not deal with planning and executing additional training.

Details for each option:

A. Plan Resource Management and Acquire Resources
Incorrect. Plan Resource Management only defines training needs during the planning phase. Thus, it does not include planning for additional training. While training is conducted as part of the Develop Team process, not the Acquire Resources process.

B. Plan Resource Management and Develop Team
Incorrect. Although training will be conducted during the Develop Team process, the Plan Resource Management process does not help to develop additional training plans.

C. Develop Team
Correct. Training is discovered, planned, and conducted as part of the Develop Team process.

D. Acquire Resources and Manage Team
Incorrect. The objective of the Acquire Resources process is to select project team members, not to plan for training.
