I think it's B, while all of the items are correct, we should select one which is related to "identification of all work":

A: Management plan will tell us about HOW the project will be done, not WHAT will we do (work)
B: WBS will identify all work packages with their inputs and outputs (right answer)
C: Laws are important, but not for work identification
D: Scope control will work with a defined scope. Defined in WBS
