Why each option
The Communication Management Plan in portfolio management must include communication objectives that define the goals and intended outcomes of all portfolio communications.
Organization areas and organizational structure are documented in the Portfolio Management Plan or organizational charts, not in the Communication Management Plan.
High-level goals, objectives, strategies, and tactics belong to the Portfolio Strategic Plan, which governs portfolio direction rather than communication governance.
The Communication Management Plan includes communication objectives, which specify what the portfolio's communication activities are intended to achieve, for which audiences, and how effectiveness will be measured. According to the PMI Standard for Portfolio Management, communication objectives are a required element of this plan and serve as the foundation for all communication strategies and activities.
Portfolio structure and component listings are documented in the Portfolio Management Plan or the Portfolio Charter, not in the Communication Management Plan.
