Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
Assign the benefit exclusively to the project with the highest budget.
Why it's wrong here
Benefit attribution should be based on value contribution, not budget.
- ✓
Review the program benefit dependency map and re-allocate the benefit.
Why this is correct
Dependency mapping clarifies which project or component actually enables the benefit.
- ✗
Remove the benefit from the program entirely.
Why it's wrong here
The benefit is likely still valid; it just requires proper attribution.
- ✗
Let both projects claim the benefit to boost performance metrics.
Why it's wrong here
This misrepresents the program's true value to the organization.
