Why each option
The Change Advisory Board (CAB) is the formal ITIL body that supports change management by advising on the assessment and prioritization of changes. It is an advisory group, not a decision-making authority in itself.
A 'change authorization board' is not a defined ITIL body - the correct ITIL term is Change Advisory Board.
The Change Advisory Board (CAB) is defined in ITIL as a body convened by the change manager to assist with the assessment, prioritization, and authorization support of changes. It typically includes representatives from across the business and IT to provide a broad perspective on the impact and risk of proposed changes.
The change implementer is responsible for executing an approved change, not for advising on assessment or prioritization.
The change manager is an individual process role who manages change activities and chairs the CAB, but is not the advisory body itself.
