Explanation

Programs provide the benefit of coordinating portfolio-level objectives and project-level work by linking consistent management principles and practices across all components. This coordination function - translating high-level strategic intent into aligned project execution through shared governance practices - is what distinguishes program management from simply running a collection of projects. Since this organization specifically identified formal program management governance as the key value area, option D directly addresses that need. Option B (bundling for efficiencies) is also a program benefit, but it does not capture the governance and coordination dimension that the question emphasizes.
