You should close the project.
Explanation:
You can choose the “Close tasks to update” option so that project team members cannot update the tasks that have been reported. This allows you to reconcile for accounting purposes of what has been completed and what you have billed the client for. Answer option C is incorrect. You should not delete the tasks, otherwise the changes will not be saved. You should just close them. Answer option A is incorrect. You should not check-in the project; you need to close the tasks. Answer option D is incorrect. You may not be ready to close the project, as you might bill several times through the project rather than just at project completion. What is a Project Center view?
