The S-curve in project management typically represents cumulative costs over time. The horizontal axis represents time (in weeks), and the vertical axis represents cumulative costs. The S-curve starts slowly, accelerates, and then levels off. Choice D is correct because it refers to the total cumulative cost at a specific time point, which can be directly inferred from the S-curve's nature and final value. Choices A, B, and C misinterpret the nature of the S-curve, confusing time intervals and rates of spending with the cumulative nature of the curve.
