Why each option

The program transition plan defines how program benefits and deliverables will be transferred to ongoing operations at the conclusion of the program. It ensures a structured handoff so that benefits are sustained after the program closes.

AOperational transfer plan

There is no standard PMI plan called an 'operational transfer plan' - this is a fabricated term that does not correspond to a recognized program management artifact.

BProgram transition planCorrect

The program transition plan is the specific document within program management planning that outlines how completed deliverables and realized benefits will be formally transferred from the program to the receiving operational organization. It details transition activities, responsibilities, timing, and success criteria to ensure the organization can sustain the benefits without the program team. This plan bridges the gap between program execution and long-term benefit realization.

CBenefits transfer plan

'Benefits transfer plan' is not a recognized plan name in the PMI Standard for Program Management - the correct term is program transition plan.

DProgram closure plan

The program closure plan governs how the program itself will be closed and administratively wound down, not specifically how benefits are transferred to operations.
