Explanation

Setting the default package for a report is a report-level configuration, so it belongs in the report properties - the single place where overarching report settings (data source, default package, language, etc.) are managed. Package properties (A) control attributes of the package itself, such as its name or security settings, and have no awareness of which report considers them "default." Query properties (B) govern how individual queries within a report behave (grouping, filters, execution method) and operate below the report level. The context menu for a package (C) typically exposes actions like open, edit, or delete - it has no mechanism for designating that package as a report's default.

Memory tip: Think "report → package" - the report owns the decision about which package it defaults to, so that setting lives at the report properties level. If you ever forget, ask yourself: "Who makes the choice?" - the report does, so look at the report's properties.
