He is the only one who has visibility on all of the projects at the same time so he can set priorities.

I think Functional Manager because in Matrix Org (assuming Weak Matrix) only Functional manager has control over the resources and since multiple projects also come under the same Function it is FM who need to set priorities.

Not sure but this is what I thought.

If weak matrix - its functional manager, if strong matrix - Project manager. As a general we can consider Project Manager.
