Explanation

Option A is correct because IT strategy defines how the IT function aligns with and supports the broader business strategy - it answers the question: how does IT enable the business to reach its goals? It focuses on the relationship between IT capabilities and business outcomes.

Option B describes a digital transformation or re-launch strategy - it's about refreshing products/services using digital channels, which is more of a product or marketing initiative, not IT strategy itself.

Option C describes a digital business strategy, where digital technology is the core of the business model (think Netflix or Uber), not simply a support function.

Option D describes IT operational planning or IT modernization - automating processes or upgrading legacy systems are tactical activities, not strategic direction-setting.

Memory tip: Think of IT strategy as the bridge - it connects what IT does to what the business needs. If the answer describes IT serving business goals, that's IT strategy. If it describes technology being the business, that's digital business strategy.
