Explanation

One of the core reasons projects are grouped into a program is precisely because they are interdependent and benefit from coordinated management. Saying 'projects can operate independently of one another' contradicts the fundamental purpose of a program - if projects were truly independent, there would be no need to group them into a program. The other options (shared stakeholder approach, shared resources, and shared policies) are genuine benefits of program management.
