Explanation

The project charter is the document that formally authorizes the project and officially names the project manager, granting them the authority to apply organizational resources to project activities. Even in a program environment where the program manager already knows the project managers, each project still requires its own charter to formally establish the project and define the PM's authority level. The program human resource management plan (B) describes how resources will be acquired and managed but does not name or authorize specific PMs. The project scope statement (C) defines deliverables and objectives. The program management charter (D) authorizes the program, not individual projects within it. Each project's charter is where the PM is officially named and empowered.
