The concept of (the) _________ states that changes related to one requirement—scope, time, or cost—will at least influence one other element.

Three-point estimation
Triple constraint
Three wise men
Three needs theory

The correct answer is: Triple constraint

The triple constraint states that changes related to one requirement – scope, time, or cost – will necessarily impact at least one other element. This is because these three aspects are tightly interrelated and changes to one will inevitably have consequences for the other two. Option A, Three-point estimation, is a technique used to estimate the time, cost, and resources required for a project, but it is not a concept that describes the relationship between project elements. Option C, Three wise men, and D, Three needs theory, are unrelated concepts that have no relevance to the triple constraint. Therefore, the correct answer is B, Triple constraint.
