Why each option
The Project Management Information System (PMIS) is the overarching parent system that contains the Change Control System as a subsystem. It provides the full infrastructure for storing, retrieving, and distributing project information.
According to PMBOK, the PMIS is the parent system that encompasses subsidiary systems including the Change Control System; it provides the organizational tools and processes for managing all project information, including the tracking and approval workflows that make up the Change Control System Donna is documenting.
The Change Control System is the system Donna is documenting inside her plan - it is the child subsystem being described, not the parent that contains it.
Integrated Change Control is a process (one of the ten project integration management processes) that describes how changes are reviewed and approved, not a named system that serves as a parent to the Change Control System.
The Quality Management System governs quality planning, assurance, and control activities and is a separate knowledge area that does not serve as the parent of the Change Control System.
Concept tested: PMIS as parent system of the Change Control System
