Explanation

Portfolio management's primary aim is to align selected projects and programs with the organization's strategic direction and objectives, ensuring that the right work is being done to achieve organizational goals. It is about choosing which initiatives to invest in based on strategic fit. Option A (resolving constraints across multiple projects) describes a function of program management. Option B (maximizing ROI) is a byproduct of good portfolio selection but not the primary stated aim. Option D (corporate governance and resource allocation) is a related concern but does not capture the core purpose, which is strategic alignment.
