Hmm, I'm torn between A and C. Maybe the IT self-assessment guide is trying to simplify the whole governance and management lifecycle?

I'm going with B. Providing detailed guidance on process assessment is exactly what I'd expect from an IT self-assessment guide.

I’m a bit confused; I thought the guide was more about how to conduct assessments rather than just describing them, so maybe option B?
