Why each option

A Release Unit in ITIL defines the granularity of what is packaged and deployed together - specifically the portion of a service or IT infrastructure normally released as a single unit.

AA measurement of cost

A Release Unit is a structural concept defining what gets released together, not a financial or cost measurement of any kind.

BA function described within Service Transition

While Release Management is a process within Service Transition, a Release Unit is a specific defined term for a deployable component - not a description of a function or role.

CThe team of people responsible for implementing a release

The team responsible for implementing a release is referred to as the release or deployment team - a Release Unit describes a component of infrastructure or service, not a group of people.

DThe portion of a service or IT infrastructure that is normally released togetherCorrect

In ITIL Release and Deployment Management, a Release Unit describes the portion of a service or IT infrastructure that is typically released together, which can be defined at different levels such as a single application, a module, or an entire service. The size and type of Release Unit is determined by the organization based on complexity, risk, and deployment capability.
