Selected Answer: D

An IT governance framework (choice B) is also important, but it provides a broader governance and control framework and therefore focuses more on overall organizational guidelines and policies than portfolio management. However, portfolio management provides a more concrete and practical approach to aligning resources with actual demand for projects and services. Therefore, it is "portfolio management" (choice D) that is most useful for aligning resources with demand for projects and services to support business objectives.
