Explanation

Project Manager (B) is responsible for deciding the project management processes for a particular project, as this falls squarely within their role: they plan, tailor, and adapt methodologies to fit the project's specific context, constraints, and goals.

Sponsor (A) provides funding, authority, and strategic direction but does not manage day-to-day or process-level decisions.
Stakeholders (C) have interests in the project outcome but are not responsible for determining how it is managed.
Senior Management (D) may set organizational standards or governance frameworks, but the tailoring of those processes to a specific project belongs to the PM.

Memory tip: Think "PM = Process Manager" - just as a PM owns the project plan, they own the process behind it. The sponsor owns the why, the PM owns the how.
