Explanation

Strategic alignment analysis directly evaluates how well each portfolio component supports the organization's current strategic goals. Since the driver for discontinuation is misalignment with new goals, strategic alignment analysis is the most appropriate tool - it identifies which components no longer contribute to strategy and should therefore be removed. Capability and capacity analysis (B) evaluates resources, not strategic fit. Interdependency analysis (C) examines relationships between components but doesn't measure strategic value. Gap analysis (D) identifies what is missing relative to goals, not what should be removed. Only strategic alignment analysis directly answers the question of which components are misaligned with the new direction.
