The answer is A.

That's the right answer.

Correct Answer to Q#126: A

A burn down chart is used to show how much work has been completed, and it can help the team determine how much time the project will take. A burn up chart tracks work completed, but it also shows changes in scope and how that affects the ideal burn.
