Why each option

A PMO supports a newly merged organization through knowledge management and cross-portfolio communication coordination, which are its core administrative and advisory functions.

AAligning the portfolio to the organizational strategy and objectives

Aligning the portfolio to organizational strategy and objectives is the responsibility of senior leadership and portfolio governance bodies, not a support function delivered by the PMO.

BProviding knowledge management including lessons learnedCorrect

Providing knowledge management including lessons learned is a core PMO function that enables the merged organization to leverage accumulated experience from both predecessor entities, reducing repeated mistakes and accelerating organizational learning.

CCoordinating communication across portfolio componentsCorrect

Coordinating communication across portfolio components is a standard PMO support function ensuring that stakeholders throughout the merged organization receive timely, consistent information about portfolio activities and decisions.

DReviewing, analyzing, and changing portfolio components to create the optimal portfolio

Reviewing, analyzing, and changing portfolio components to create the optimal portfolio is a portfolio governance committee and portfolio manager responsibility, not a PMO support role.
