Selected Answer: B
Alignment with the broader business strategy and plans of other business units is crucial for the long-term success and effectiveness of the information security program. Without this alignment, even well-designed security initiatives may face roadblocks or fail to support key business objectives. An aligned plan ensures that security efforts are focused on protecting the most critical business assets and processes, and it also increases the likelihood of gaining executive and cross-functional support.

Selected Answer: B
got this on the test and it threw me... I selected B as there were many references to how important it is to align yourself with business goals in the readings. But I can't recall any direct comparison between importance of A vs B. So I felt like B was the safer one since the test if based off the manual.
