Answer analysis

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

✗
Project Support
Why it's wrong here
Project Support provides administrative assistance and maintains logs and registers; it does not receive Highlight Reports as a recipient. The report is sent to the Project Board, so this option confuses a support function with the governance body that consumes progress information during Controlling a Stage.
✗
Team Manager
Why it's wrong here
The Highlight Report is produced by the Project Manager for the Project Board, not the Team Manager, who receives Work Packages and issues Checkpoint Reports upward. Team Managers are tempting because they report progress during Controlling a Stage, but that reporting flows in the opposite direction.
✓
Project Board
Why this is correct
The Highlight Report is produced by the Project Manager during Controlling a Stage and sent to the Project Board, keeping it informed of stage progress, issues and forecast. This satisfies the stem's question about the report's recipient.
✗
Senior User
Why it's wrong here
The Senior User sits on the Project Board, which receives Highlight Reports collectively; singling out the Senior User misstates the distribution. The report goes to all Project Board members, so naming one role as recipient misidentifies the reporting line defined in Controlling a Stage.
