ANSWER

It is not correct that milestones are developed during risk planning but rather they are developed during Project budgeting where the deliverables are identified in terms of the cost to achieve them. Truly as stated in the scenario's options, Project managers can use their cash flow projections to determine the funding needed to reach each milestone. It is in the project planning phase that these milestones are established by Project managers and sponsors jointly.
