Explanation

Stakeholder identification is a planning and initiating activity, not a monitoring and controlling activity. You identify stakeholders early in the program to understand who has an interest or influence in the program. Monitoring and controlling is concerned with tracking the ongoing execution of the program - which includes materials (A), equipment (B), and personnel like Susan the developer (C), all of which are resources that must be managed throughout the program lifecycle. Stakeholder engagement is monitored, but stakeholder identification itself is a one-time (or periodic) planning task.
