Explanation

According to the PMI Standard for Portfolio Management, the Portfolio Roadmap is a chronological representation of the entire portfolio's intended direction. It should depict all portfolio components - programs, projects, and other work - along with their timelines, dependencies, and major milestones. Omitting components from the roadmap would result in an incomplete and misleading planning artifact. Options C and D suggest it is a discretionary decision by the portfolio manager or governance board, but the standard is clear that the roadmap must reflect all components for accurate portfolio visibility.
