B. Help Desk (answer) While the Help Desk plays an essential role in IT operations and may be involved in implementing security measures, they are generally not considered primary stakeholders in the governance or strategic oversight of IT security projects. The key her is vendor, clearly they are developing for the business, the CEO and BoD involved naturally, the help desk is the help desk, they would have varying input unless the project is about the help desk. A very vague one-dimensional question

Third party vendors could be important stakeholders depending on the project. Perhaps the person writing the question envisaged they would be a simple supplier but often in IT these days vendors are in partnership to provide critical services so could be an important stakeholder.
