Explanation

Option A (1, 2, 3) is correct because portfolio management operates at a strategic oversight level - it builds organizational delivery capability, allocates scarce resources across competing initiatives, and manages interdependencies between programmes and projects to protect strategic outcomes.

Statement 4 is the distractor: delivering change initiatives is the responsibility of programmes and projects within the portfolio, not of portfolio management itself. Portfolio management governs and enables delivery; it does not carry it out directly. Confusing this distinction is the most common mistake on this type of question.

Memory tip: Think of portfolio management as the "board of directors" - it funds, resources, and aligns work (1, 2, 3), but the actual building is done by the teams on the ground (4). If a statement says portfolio management delivers something hands-on, treat it with suspicion.
