Ah, the age-old question of centralized functions. D is the answer that really stands out - it's the one that doesn't align with the goal of streamlining and standardizing processes.

This one's a bit tricky, but I think D is the correct answer. It's the only one that doesn't mention reducing the need for individual agency guidelines.

I agree with Vallie. D is the only answer that doesn't fit the pattern of the other choices.

But centralized functions are supposed to reduce the need for individual agency guidelines, so D makes more sense.

Option D seems to be the odd one out. The other options all align with the objectives of a centralized function, while D suggests the opposite.
