B. Stakeholders
C. Quality
D. Vendors

C. Project, as it has clear scope and requirements in terms of safety
compliance, fuel efficiency, etc.
D. Operation, as this activity didn't create a unique product

life cycle. Notice the word launched. All the activities before launch of the vehicle

EXPLANATION
Project cost peaks in the middle of the project as maximum resources are utilized
during this phase. Project cost is low at the beginning, peaks midway, and drops
rapidly as the project draws to an end. Initiating, planning, and closing are not
part of the project life cycle and are process groups.
