Answer and Explanation:
The correct answer is C.

The requirements management plan is a component of the project or program management plan that describes how requirements will be analyzed, documented, and managed. A process that specifies how formal acceptance of the completed project deliverables will be obtained is an element of the scope management plan and should be excluded from the requirements management plan. The incorrect answer choices represent components that should be included in the requirements management plan.

Details for Each Option:

A. The metrics that will be used and the rationale for using them
Incorrect. The metrics that will be used and the rationale for using them is an element of the requirements management plan, making this answer incorrect.

B. A requirements prioritization process
Incorrect. A requirements prioritization process should be included in the requirements management plan. Therefore, this answer choice can be eliminated.

C. A process that specifies how formal acceptance of the completed project deliverables will be obtained
Correct. A process that specifies how formal acceptance of the completed project deliverables will be obtained is an element of the scope management plan and should not be included in the requirements management plan, making this choice the best answer to the question asked.

D. How requirement activities will be planned, tracked, and reported
Incorrect. How requirement activities will be planned, tracked, and reported is an element of the requirements management plan and should be included. Therefore, this option is not correct.
