Explanation

Benefits management practice (B) is correct because its core function is to collate, analyze, and present information about the expected benefits of change initiatives in relation to strategic objectives. It gives senior management a consolidated view of which initiatives offer the highest strategic value, enabling informed prioritization decisions across the portfolio.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A (Strategy alignment principle): This is a governing principle, not a practice that actively collates and presents information - it guides how the portfolio should be approached, not the mechanism for surfacing clarity to senior management.
• C (Portfolio delivery cycle): This cycle focuses on managing and monitoring approved initiatives already in execution, not on evaluating and collating information about which initiatives to pursue.
• D (Portfolio definition cycle): While this cycle does involve selecting and prioritizing initiatives, it is the broader process of establishing the portfolio - benefits management practice is the specific tool within that process that provides the evidence-based clarity described.

Memory tip: Link Benefits management to Business case justification - it's the practice that answers "which changes are worth it?" by collating strategic contribution data for decision-makers at the top.
