The correct answer isA. IAM'sAnatomy of Asset Management Version 4states that theStrategic Asset Management Plan (SAMP)specifies the organization's long-term and life-cycle approach to managing assets anddetails the asset management strategy, asset management objectives, and the levels of service and performance needed to satisfy objectives. It also says the strategy and objectives are the second stage of the organization'sline of sight, translating policy principles into guidance for asset-management decisions.

Because the question is about developingperformance metricsand checking their alignment withAsset Management and Organizational objectives, the most appropriate reference is theAsset Management Strategyin the SAMP, since that is where those objectives and required performance levels are explicitly translated and structured. TheAsset Management Policyprovides principles and a framework, but it is the strategy that turns those principles into objectives, service levels, and performance requirements.
