Explanation

Senior leadership must define roles and responsibilities of the person with oversight (B) because governance starts at the top - without clearly assigned accountability, a data privacy policy lacks authority and enforcement. Option A (training requirements) is an operational activity typically delegated to HR or compliance teams, not a leadership-level policy definition. Option C (metrics from external agencies) confuses advisory guidance with the internal governance mandate that leadership owns. Option D (data owner scope) is a subset of the broader accountability framework - while important, it's a downstream artifact of first establishing oversight roles at the senior level.

Memory tip: Think "Who's in charge?" - before any policy can be managed, leadership must answer that question first. Oversight roles = the foundation; everything else (training, metrics, data ownership) flows from it.
