I believe D is important too, as it addresses how the organization implements its plans, but I need to double-check if that's the core purpose.

I'm a bit confused; I feel like all the options touch on different aspects of asset management. C seems relevant, but I can't recall if it's the main purpose.

I remember practicing a question similar to this, and I think B makes sense because it talks about translating strategic objectives into asset management ones.

I think the asset management policy is mainly about aligning objectives, so I might lean towards option A, but I'm not entirely sure.
