Explanation

When a component project has delivered all expected outputs, received stakeholder approvals, and transitioned benefits to operations, the program manager's next step is to formally verify benefit delivery and authorize component project closure. This follows the PMI standard for component closure: the program manager must confirm that the deliverables and benefits meet program expectations before officially closing the component. Option A (reassigning the component PM) may happen after closure, not before it. Option C (a full audit) is more extensive than typically required at this stage. Option D (keeping it open) contradicts the fact that the component has already completed its deliverables and transitioned benefits-there is no basis for keeping it open.
