I recall something about funding arrangements, but I can't remember if component projects are strictly tied to program funds. D seems too strict, though.

I’m a bit confused. I thought all projects under a program needed to be funded by the same organization. Could it be C?

I feel like I saw a similar question in practice exams, and it mentioned that programs and components can have different funding. So maybe it's B?

D) What is this, communist Russia? No way the program and its projects should be tied to the same purse strings. B is the only answer that doesn't make me want to throw my laptop out the window.
