Explanation

Organizational strategies are executed through two parallel tracks: Portfolio Components (projects, programs, and sub-portfolios that deliver change and new capabilities) and Ongoing Operations (the day-to-day activities that sustain and run the business). Strategy cannot be fully realized through components alone - operations keep the organization functioning and also advance strategic goals incrementally. Portfolio Strategic Management (B) is the planning and governance process, not the implementation vehicle. Choosing only components (A) or only operations (D) is incomplete. PMI explicitly recognizes both tracks as the implementation vehicles for organizational strategy.
