Correct answer & explanation
✓
Project Assurance
Project Assurance is the correct answer because in PRINCE2, Project Assurance is a distinct role responsible for monitoring and reporting on the project's adherence to the management and technical standards, independent of the Project Manager. It ensures that the project remains aligned with the business case, quality requirements, and stakeholder expectations, acting as the 'eyes and ears' of the Project Board.
