Explanation

Portfolio governance is fundamentally about establishing a structured, consistent decision-making framework. This includes how new components enter the portfolio, how existing ones are paused, terminated, or reprioritized, and who has the authority to make those decisions. Answer A describes an activity (selecting/prioritizing) but omits the decision-process framework. Answer B is similar but incomplete. Answer C conflates governance with financial and risk management functions. Answer D most accurately captures the core purpose: governance provides the rules and processes by which portfolio decisions are made and executed.
