The correct answer is C) stakeholders. Evaluations need to be useful to stakeholders, as they are the individuals or groups that have an interest in the outcome of the evaluation and its findings.

Making evaluations useful to stakeholders ensures that the findings are relevant and can be applied to improve programs and outcomes.
