I feel pretty confident about this one. The question is asking how the program manager should use the mission statement, and option D seems to address that directly by updating the statement to align with strategic goals and stakeholder interests. That seems like the most comprehensive and effective approach.

Hey, if I were the program manager, I'd just write 'Make the cloud great again!' in the mission statement. That's sure to get everyone on board, right?
