Explanation
The primary value of portfolio management - as opposed to managing projects individually - is the ability to see across all projects simultaneously, which surfaces dependencies between them. Two projects may share the same team, the same data source, the same delivery deadline, or produce outputs that one another depend on. These interdependencies are invisible when projects are managed in silos but become apparent and manageable at the portfolio level. Managing individual project risks (A) and quality (D) happens at the project level. Informing users (C) is a communications concern, not the defining advantage of portfolio management.
