Why each option

Project Integration Management is focused on unifying and coordinating all project management processes and knowledge areas to oversee the project as a cohesive whole.

AEnsuring that requirements-related work is clarified in the project management plan

Clarifying requirements in the project management plan is a responsibility tied to Scope Management, not Integration Management.

BInvesting sufficient effort in acquiring, managing, motivating, and empowering the project team

Acquiring, managing, motivating, and empowering the project team describes the role of the project manager in Resource Management.

CCombining the results in all other knowledge areas and overseeing the project as a wholeCorrect

The core responsibility of the project manager in Integration Management is to combine outputs from all other knowledge areas - scope, schedule, cost, quality, risk, etc. - and oversee the entire project holistically. This ensures that all components work together toward project objectives rather than in isolation.

DDeveloping a strategy to ensure effective stakeholder communication

Developing a strategy for effective stakeholder communication is the primary responsibility associated with Communications Management and Stakeholder Management.
