Why each option
The project sponsor is the authoritative source for high-level requirements when drafting a project charter, as they own the business need and fund the initiative.
The sponsor is the individual or group who authorizes the project and owns the underlying business need. They provide the high-level objectives, constraints, and requirements that form the basis of the project charter, since the charter exists to serve their organizational goal.
The project manager facilitates and executes the project but does not originate the high-level business requirements that precede their involvement.
The PMO supplies governance frameworks, standards, and methodologies but does not define project-specific business requirements.
The project team is responsible for delivering work packages, not for defining the business requirements that exist before the team is assembled.
