Why each option

A portfolio roadmap provides the high-level, timeline-based view of component timelines and dependencies that a stakeholder needs to understand the portfolio's internal and external linkages.

Astrategic plan that contains the portfolio schedule.

A strategic plan with a portfolio schedule focuses on strategic goals and high-level schedules but does not specifically visualize internal and external component dependencies.

Bcharter that contains a detailed portfolio timeline.

A portfolio charter is an authorization document that establishes the portfolio's existence and scope; it does not contain detailed timelines or dependency views.

Croadmap that contains component timelines.Correct

A portfolio roadmap is specifically designed to present a high-level, chronological view of how portfolio components relate to each other and to strategic objectives over time, including their internal and external dependencies. It communicates component timelines in a format accessible to executive stakeholders while showing how components sequence and interact. This makes it the appropriate artifact when a stakeholder needs to understand dependencies at a strategic planning level without excessive detail.

Ddependency map that contains associated strategic objectives.

A dependency map shows component relationships in detail but is not the standard artifact for presenting a high-level plan with component timelines to a key stakeholder.
