Explanation

The steering committee's primary function in portfolio prioritization is ensuring strategic alignment. Since ROI analysis has already been completed, the next most impactful action is confirming that components align with the organization's goals and objectives. Strategic alignment is the foundational criterion for portfolio component inclusion - a high ROI component that doesn't support organizational strategy should not be prioritized. Risk evaluation (A), financial assumption accuracy (B), and resource availability (C) are secondary concerns that come after strategic alignment is confirmed.
