Since the project is completed, this should be the final product to be approved, hence I would go for b. You validate scope for all interim or partly deliverables during the run of the project. Saving Changes...
When the project is complete and the product is ready to be delivered the accept process done in validate scope also inspection done in this process. However reviewing the accept done at closing project and phase ( Input to the 4.7 process).
Thus I am prefer to choose the option C.
Pls also remember that there is no verify scope (its an old terminology cames from PMBOK 3rd Edition).
