Explanation

Organizational structure analysis examines the organization's hierarchy, reporting lines, functional areas, and existing governance mechanisms. This analysis is a tool/technique used in 'Develop Portfolio Management Plan' specifically because it directly informs how portfolio management roles and responsibilities should be defined and assigned within the organization. Without understanding the organizational structure, you cannot properly define who owns what in the portfolio management framework.

Option D is incorrect – organizational structure analysis is explicitly a tool and technique of 'Develop Portfolio Management Plan,' not 'Develop Strategic Plan.'
