Explanation

In portfolio stakeholder management, key stakeholder expectations and requirements must always be taken into consideration and properly investigated, even when the portfolio manager is personally skeptical. The portfolio manager's role is not to unilaterally accept or reject stakeholder claims, but to engage with them professionally, investigate the concern, and respond with evidence-based conclusions. Option D reflects this balanced, stakeholder-centric approach. Option A (accepting the statement blindly) is wrong because it skips due diligence. Option B (outright rejecting it) is wrong because it ignores a legitimate stakeholder concern. Option C (assigning an owner to follow up) is reasonable but incomplete – the portfolio manager still carries the accountability for the stakeholder relationship and the decision, so merely delegating it is not the 'best' approach.
