The question is confusing however reading again and again, I see correct Answer is C. Four Components of Guardrails are 1) Investment Horizon 2) Capacity Allocation 3) Approve significant Initiatives 4) Business Owner Engagement (refer to Workbook).

It can be only A

There are 4 components of Guardrail in LPM, Capacity Allocation is one of them. Hence C is the correct answer

Correct answer should be A. Reason being, Budget constraint is one of the guardrails for LPM. The rest of the choices don't talk about LPM.
