I'm not so sure, I think EV measures the total costs incurred while accomplishing work, so I would go with option B.

I agree with Lyla, EV is all about tracking the progress of completed work against the budget, so it's definitely option A.

A) Budgeted work that has been completed - Easy peasy, that's the definition of earned value. Unless, of course, someone's playing a trick on us...

B) Total costs incurred while accomplishing work - Hmm, I'm not so sure about that one. Doesn't earned value measure the work completed, not the costs?
