Explanation

According to the PMI PMBOK Guide, a portfolio is a collection of projects, programs, subsidiary portfolios, and operations that are managed as a group to achieve strategic business objectives. Operations represent ongoing, repetitive work that sustains the organization and can be included in a portfolio alongside projects and programs. Answer C correctly reflects this definition. Risks (A) are inputs to management, not components of a portfolio. Strategies (B) are what portfolios align to, not what they contain. Change management (D) is a discipline, not a portfolio component.
