The process that provides the Project Board with the information it requires to commit resources to the project is "Initiating a Project." Option B is the correct answer.
Initiating a Project is the first process of PRINCE2 (PRojects IN Controlled Environments) methodology, and it is focused on developing a comprehensive understanding of the project's business case, justification, and feasibility. During this process, the Project Board reviews the project mandate, and other relevant documentation, to determine if the project is worth investing in.
The Project Board assesses the project's feasibility, risks, benefits, and costs, and decides whether to authorize the project and commit the required resources. If the Project Board approves the project, the next step is to initiate the project and develop a detailed project plan.
Therefore, the information gathered and presented during the Initiating a Project process helps the Project Board make an informed decision on whether or not to commit resources to the project. Once the Project Board approves the project, the other processes of PRINCE2 can be executed to manage and control the project through its entire lifecycle.
Managing Product Delivery is responsible for the delivery of products that meet the quality, time, and cost criteria specified in the project plan. Controlling a Stage provides the Project Board with regular progress reports and manages any issues and risks that arise during a project stage. Directing a Project provides the Project Board with the overall project direction, monitors progress, and ensures that the project is aligned with the organization's objectives.
