Explanation
All five options are correct because they each capture a distinct, verified responsibility from the Six Sigma body of knowledge: A reflects the Process Owner's formal authority to drive change; B highlights why early designation matters - so the owner can learn the process deeply alongside the team; C captures the post-project accountability for sustaining and building on gains; D addresses the leadership dimension of empowering team members within the process; and E recognizes the collaborative dynamic between the Process Owner and the project team, a role that can overlap with the Champion.
There are no distractors here - this is a "select all that apply" question where every listed choice reflects an officially recognized responsibility, so the exam is testing completeness of knowledge, not elimination.
Memory tip: Think of a Process Owner using the acronym CLAIM - Change authority, Leads people (empowers), Accountable for results (holds gains), Identified early, Member of the project team. If any of these are missing from your answer, you've left a role out.
