Explanation

The program scope statement is the artifact that formally documents and captures what is included in and excluded from the program-its scope boundaries (Choice C). It defines what the program will and will not deliver, the major deliverables, and the constraints and assumptions that bound the program. The program scope management plan (Choice A) describes how scope will be defined, validated, and controlled-it is a process document, not a boundary document. The program governance plan (Choice B) covers decision-making authority and oversight structures. The program work breakdown structure (Choice D) decomposes scope into work packages but is created after the scope statement. The scope statement is the foundational document that captures scope boundaries.
