Explanation

The Program Scope Statement is the document that defines the context, boundaries, and framework of the program - it establishes what is included, what is excluded, and the essential aspects of the program's intent. It is created during the program definition phase and serves as the foundational reference for scope. Option A, the Program Resource Management Plan, addresses how resources will be acquired and managed - not context and framework. Option B, the Program Management Plan, is a broader governance and execution document developed after scope is defined. Option C, the Program Master Schedule, addresses timeline and sequencing, not context or scope definition. The scope statement specifically answers 'what is this program and what does it encompass.'
