Explanation

In project and program management, systems exist in a hierarchy. The Project Management Information System (PMIS) is the overarching parent system that encompasses all information systems used to manage a project or program. The Change Control System is a subsystem that lives within the PMIS. The PMIS provides the infrastructure, tools, and processes for collecting, integrating, and disseminating project information - including the change control system, configuration management system, and other management subsystems. Donna's change control system, therefore, is a child of the PMIS, making C the correct answer.
