Why each option

At the portfolio level, success is best evaluated by aggregating the total benefits realized across all programs and projects within the portfolio.

ACharter the strategic objectives.

Chartering strategic objectives is an initiation activity, not an evaluation method for assessing whether a portfolio has delivered its intended value.

BAggregate benefits realization.Correct

Aggregate benefits realization measures the collective value delivered by all components within a portfolio against the organization's strategic objectives. This is the primary metric for portfolio success because portfolios are managed to optimize the total value and return on investment across all constituent initiatives.

CControl environmental changes.

Controlling environmental changes is an operational management activity and does not provide a measurable indicator of portfolio-level success.

DMonitor changes continuously.

Monitoring changes continuously is an ongoing process activity, not a success evaluation metric suitable for executive portfolio review.
