Which baseline includes the approved product design?

• A. Maintenance Baseline
• B. Government
• C. Environmental Testing
• D. Product Baseline

Answer: (D)

This question tests which baseline locks in the approved product design. The Product Baseline is the formal snapshot that contains the approved design and its configuration items, drawings, specifications, and bill of materials, and it serves as the reference for development, production, and future change control. Once the design is approved, it becomes the Product Baseline against which changes are measured. The other options don’t represent the approved design snapshot: maintenance baseline relates to the deployed configuration used for ongoing upkeep, environmental testing is an activity rather than a baseline, and the remaining choice does not reflect the baseline used for the approved design.
