Explanation

One of the primary benefits of establishing a program (versus managing projects independently) is centralized risk management. By grouping related projects under one program umbrella, risks can be identified, analyzed, and responded to at the program level, allowing shared mitigation strategies and avoiding redundant risk management efforts across projects. Option A is false - programs do not inherently cost less. Option B is incorrect - project management responsibilities remain with individual project managers, not centralized to the program manager. Option D is partially true as a benefit, but centralized risk management is the most precise and formally recognized benefit among the choices.
