Why each option
The transition plan specifically governs the release of program resources and the formal transfer of deliverables and benefits to operational units at phase or program closure.
The resource management plan governs how resources are acquired, developed, and managed during the program but does not direct their formal release or transfer to operations.
The transition plan defines the activities, responsibilities, and timing required to hand over program deliverables, capabilities, and resources to the receiving operational organization. It ensures operational readiness and documents how resources are released and benefits are sustained after the program or phase concludes, directly matching the described scenario.
The communications management plan defines how information flows to stakeholders but has no function in directing resource release or operational handover.
The benefits management plan tracks benefit realization over time but does not contain the operational transfer procedures for resources and deliverables.
