ACMP emphasizes thatlearning and development plansare not limited to frontline employees — they also extend tomanagers and supervisors. Supervisors play a critical role in coaching, reinforcing, and clarifying expectations for their teams. The learning and development plan ensures that leaders are trained in the tools and techniques they need to guide employees effectively. Sustainability (A) occurs later to reinforce adoption. Performance planning (B) supports long-term integration, and stakeholder analysis (D) identifies who is impacted but does not provide tools. Therefore, the correct answer is C.
