A project management tool displays tasks in a table with columns: Task Name, Status (Not Started, In Progress, Completed), Priority (High, Medium, Low), and Due Date. If you filter to show 'High' priority tasks that are 'In Progress' and sort by 'Due Date' (earliest first), which task would appear at the top of the filtered list?

A Task A: Status In Progress, Priority Medium, Due Date Oct 15
B Task B: Status In Progress, Priority High, Due Date Oct 10
C Task C: Status Completed, Priority High, Due Date Sep 30
D Task D: Status Not Started, Priority High, Due Date Oct 05

✓ Correct Answer: Option B

First, filter for 'High' priority AND 'In Progress' status. This eliminates A, C, and D. Only Task B remains. Therefore, it would be at the top of the filtered, sorted list.
