Why each option

The Communication Calendar is a document that represents all communications planned for the portfolio along with their frequency over a defined time period. It provides a consolidated, time-based view of all portfolio communications.

AIntended recipients, communication vehicles, frequency and communication areas

BStakeholders roles, interests, expectations and groups

Stakeholder roles, interests, expectations, and groups are attributes captured in the stakeholder register, not in the Communication Calendar.

CStakeholders quadrants showing the level of interest and influence

A quadrant showing level of interest and influence is a stakeholder engagement assessment matrix or power/interest grid, which is a separate stakeholder analysis tool.
