Explanation

The Project Management Office (PMO) governs project standards and has authority over resource allocation across the organization's entire portfolio of projects. When a resource is shared across multiple projects and creates a conflict, the PMO has the organizational authority to reprioritize resources, negotiate workloads, and resolve cross-project scheduling conflicts. The Change Control Board (CCB, A) approves scope and change requests, not resource disputes. The Project Sponsor (C) champions the project but does not manage cross-project resource allocation. The Project Scheduler (D) creates and maintains schedules but has no authority over resource assignment decisions.
