Explanation

When a stakeholder asks mid-program whether objectives are being met, the most direct and credible response is to provide program performance reports. These reports contain quantitative, objective data-milestone completions, schedule and cost performance indices, KPI status, and deliverable progress-that directly demonstrate whether the program is on track against its defined objectives. Option A is incorrect because KPIs should already be defined, not created now. Option B shows original goals but not current progress. Option D (benefits register) tracks expected future benefits, not current performance evidence.
