Explanation

The level of formality required for solution documentation is governed by the portfolio life cycle, because it is at the portfolio level that organizational governance standards, compliance requirements, and strategic documentation policies are established. Portfolio-level governance defines the standards that cascade down to programs and projects, including how formally solutions must be documented. The project life cycle (A) influences delivery approach but is subordinate to portfolio governance on documentation standards. The product life cycle (B) governs how the product evolves over time. The program life cycle (D) coordinates related projects but does not set the organizational-level formality standards that portfolio governance does.
