    Conduct = doing the project: broadly planning, execution, control
    Termination = finishing the project: ie completion

    The terminology of project management is fairly fluid but all projects have initiation, execution completion.

    Some people might put planning as part of initiation ie you need a business plan before you go ahead.

    I would simply answer this using your own headings so, for example, planning was very fuzzy with two important people not attending the first meeting. The scope of the project was not defined. There does not seem to be a cost/benefit analysis of any sort.

    The question asks about mistakes so you are free to criticise as much as you want.

    from my earlier study i know that initiation means building the business case .
    but when i started reading examiner model answer i found under project initiation heading it said establish project initiation document (PID)which include objective ,scope , constraints ,authority
    difference between examiner answer and my earlier study makes me so much confuse .
    please clear my problem ..

    you mention that Conduct = doing the project: broadly planning, execution, control .
    but examiner model answer refer conduct as -; two aspect in the conduct of the project deserve scrutiny . the first is procurement process and 2nd is group and stakeholder management .
    i cant relate your answer with examiner model answer .

    please help me . i need your help
    thank in advance.

    As ssid, different writers have different opinions as to which steps are included in which stage of a project. Choose one opinion, learn it and forget the rest. If my opinion confuses you ignore it and choose the examiner’s. It will be fine.
