Answer options

• A. the board of directors
• B. the IT architecture review board
• C. senior management
• D. enterprise risk management (ERM)

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as senior management is primarily responsible for establishing performance measurements to ensure that the IT strategy aligns with the organization's goals. The board of directors, while influential, is not directly involved in the day-to-day performance metrics. The IT architecture review board and enterprise risk management (ERM) focus on specific aspects of governance rather than overarching performance measurement.
