Why each option

The PMO functions as an organizational governance and oversight body rather than a direct project executor. Its core responsibilities are standardizing practices across projects and coordinating performance accountability.

Amanaging the project plan, scope, risk, and budget.

Managing project plan, scope, risk, and budget on a day-to-day basis is the responsibility of the individual project manager assigned to that project, not the PMO.

Bcontributing expertise, deliverables, and estimates of costs.

Contributing expertise, deliverables, and cost estimates is the role of project team members and subject matter experts, not a PMO function.

Csetting standards and practices for the organization and providing governance.Correct

The PMO establishes and enforces project management standards, methodologies, and governance frameworks organization-wide to ensure consistency and alignment with strategic objectives.

Doutlining consequences of non-performance and coordinating between disparate projectsCorrect

The PMO outlines consequences of non-performance and coordinates interdependencies between disparate projects, ensuring portfolio-level alignment and accountability.

Eapproving funding, developing the project schedule, and gathering high-level requirements

Approving funding and gathering high-level requirements is typically performed by the project sponsor or executive steering committee, not the PMO.
