Explanation
A functional requirement describes what the system must do, written from the system's perspective. Option B ('The portal should allow for partners to upload monthly sales reports') correctly frames this as a system capability. Option A ('Partners need to submit monthly sales reports') is a business need or user story, not a functional requirement. Option C incorrectly says 'access' (read) rather than 'upload' (write), which changes the requirement entirely and does not match the stated need.
