Hmm, I'm not so sure. I think answer D, the portfolio performance plan, might be more appropriate. We need to evaluate the impact of this change on the overall portfolio and adjust our metrics accordingly.

This question seems to be testing our ability to manage a portfolio and ensure strategic alignment, even when unexpected regulatory changes arise. I'm feeling a bit nervous about it, to be honest.
