A procurement professional might not want this split to occur because they would lose _____ in a decentralized contracting environment.

    The correct answer is D.

    Choice A is incorrect, as the change would not impact the entire project management process, only procurement. Loyalty to the project (choice B) would be gained, not lost, in a decentralized environment. In a decentralized procurement situation, there is less focus on maintaining the skill or expertise of the contracting function, making choice D the best answer.
