The whole posting is kinda "creepy", as creep is an answer in at least 4 of the questions, and the answer is always a).

Actually, I disagree with several of the answers, starting with #1. A change in a project *might* be scope creep, but it might be a change in budget, staffing, or even a legitimate change in requirements, aka "scope change".
