Correct answer: B
In the SCOR v12.0 framework update, Integrated Business Planning (BP.183) was introduced as an Emerging Practice. Emerging practices are newly developing approaches that are showing promise but haven't yet reached universal 'best practice' status across all industries. IBP extends traditional S&OP by tightly integrating financial planning and portfolio management with operational supply chain planning.
