Explanation

Risk management is one of the recognized portfolio delivery practices in the Management of Portfolios (MoP) framework, alongside financial management, resource management, stakeholder engagement, organizational governance, and benefits management - all focused on executing the portfolio and sustaining delivery.

Balance (A) is a portfolio definition practice, not a delivery one; it belongs to the prioritization and selection phase where the portfolio mix is shaped before execution begins. Energized change culture (B) is not a standard MoP portfolio practice at all - it conflates cultural change management concepts with the structured practice categories. Management by exception (C) is a PRINCE2 principle, not a portfolio delivery practice, and applying it out of that context makes it a trap for candidates who mix up frameworks.

Memory tip: Think "DEFINITION = shape it, DELIVERY = run it." Risk management clearly belongs to running the portfolio - you monitor and respond to risks throughout execution - so it sits firmly in delivery, not definition.
