Correct answer & explanation
✓
Executive
The Senior User represents the users and is responsible for ensuring the project delivers the required benefits; however, the Executive (Senior Responsible Owner) owns the Business Case. In PRINCE2, the Executive is ultimately accountable for the Business Case, but the Senior User provides input on benefits. The question asks who maintains it, and the correct answer is the Executive.
