Explanation

In PMI's Standard for Portfolio Management, the 'Provide Portfolio Oversight' process is a governance and monitoring function that sits above the others. During portfolio reviews, this process evaluates overall portfolio health and performance - and based on its findings, it can trigger the 'Optimize Portfolio' process (to rebalance components) and/or the 'Authorize Portfolio' process (to approve or reprioritize components). The three processes are interconnected, not isolated, and oversight acts as the catalyst. Option C is incorrect because there is no fixed sequential order; option B is wrong because they are absolutely related.
