Explanation

Managing supply and demand in portfolio management produces three key outputs: Portfolio updates (reflecting changes in which projects are included or prioritized), Portfolio Management Plan updates (documenting how supply/demand decisions will be governed going forward), and Portfolio Reports (communicating resource utilization and efficiency status to stakeholders). Option A and C include 'Portfolio' as a standalone item, which is redundant. Option D replaces 'Portfolio Reports' with 'Portfolio Process Assets updates,' but process assets are typically inputs or organizational artifacts, not direct outputs of this specific management activity. The standard PMI framework outputs for this process align with option B.
