Explanation
In PMI's portfolio management framework, collaboration techniques are specifically those that involve working together with stakeholders to reach shared decisions or resolve conflicts. Polling for consensus or majority vote is a direct collaboration technique because it actively involves all parties in reaching a joint decision. Interview and observation survey techniques (A) are information-gathering or elicitation techniques. Focus groups and brainstorming (C) are facilitation or ideation techniques. Because A and C are categorized under different technique types rather than collaboration specifically, 'All of the options' (B) is incorrect. Only D fits the PMI definition of a collaboration technique.
