Who sign the Charter?

I think that the PM needs to get the approval and signature from his/her CEO before delivering any contract/service agreement to customer/sponsor for the approval and signature.
The key words of the question are "you are leaving your office", but you are still in your own office (not outside of your office) and "who will you go see for the signature" (also for the approval). Comparing Project Management Team, all Project Stakeholders and project sponsor with CEO of your company, I do think that CEO of your company is the best answer although PM would review the charter with project management team/senior management in his/her company. 
Please correct my answer if required.

This the question from PM PrepCastTM


You are the project manager for the Silver project. You have been brought on to this project in thYou he very early stages and you have been asked to write the charter for it. Over the past 10 days you have met with a number of stakeholders, received their input and you are now ready to have the charter signed. ave the charter in your hand and you are leaving your office. Who will you go see for the signature?

A.) Project Sponsor
B.) The Chief Executive Officer of your company
C.) All Project Stakeholders
D.) The Project Management Team





The answer is B.)

這一題,以我以前的關念,我會選 A) (找 CEO 有一點太大了吧?)
下面是出題者的說明……
不知道大家認不認同他的想法?
A project charter is normally signed by an authorized approver who is outside of the boundaries of the project. This ensures that authorization and funding is given from without and not from within the project. The Project Sponsor, Stakeholders and the Project Management Team are inside the boundaries of the project. While it may not be normal that the CEO signs a charter, in this question here, the CEO is the only person who is outside of the project boundaries and therefore the right person to sign it.
