A program that is not part of a larger national portfolio is described as a:

• A. Standalone program
• B. Integrated program
• C. Multi-portfolio program
• D. Centralized program

Answer: (A)

This item tests how a program relates to a portfolio. When a program isn’t part of a larger national portfolio, it operates independently and is described as a standalone program. It runs with its own governance, funding, and objectives, without needing to coordinate with other programs. An integrated program is connected to and coordinated within a portfolio; a multi-portfolio program spans or coordinates across multiple portfolios; a centralized program emphasizes centralized governance rather than independence from a portfolio. So the standalone designation best fits a program outside a larger portfolio.
