C) Closer to completion (tasks): Beta; Higher % completed: Beta. Project Beta has 25 tasks remaining, which is fewer than Alpha's 30, making Beta closer in terms of remaining tasks. Project Beta has also completed 80% of its work, which is higher than Alpha's 70%. Therefore, Beta is closer by tasks and has a higher completion percentage.
