Final answer:

The Project Charter and Stakeholder Register are outputs of initiating in PMBOK Guide, Fifth Edition, while the Kick-off Meeting is recommended but not an output of this phase. Hence, the answer is 'c. Kick-off meeting'.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student's question pertains to the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK Guide), Fifth Edition, specifically the initiating process group. Within this context, certain documents and meetings are produced or recommended as part of good project management practice.

Project Charter and Stakeholder Register are formally recognized outputs of the initiating process per PMBOK Guide, Fifth Edition. The Project Charter is the document that officially authorizes a project, while the Stakeholder Register is a project management document that contains the details of the project stakeholders, identified during the initiating process. On the other hand, a Kick-off Meeting is recommended as a good practice in project management, but it is not an output of the initiating process; instead, it usually occurs after the Planning process group as part of the Executing process group or at the transition between the Planning phase and Execution phase.

Therefore, the correct answer to the question is option c. Kick-off meeting, as it is recommended in the text but is not an output of initiating in the PMBOK Guide, Fifth edition.
