Exam CLO-002 topic 1 question 41 discussion

The question asks for the first step (singular) but there are multiple answers?

From the first statement, it seems they are migrating to the cloud which means that CSP is already selected. Not sure why C is correct. The only thing they need to identify is D and identify other resources that are required

I agree: instructions specify a single response. I also assert that (D) is correct and (C) is actually incorrect – determining required services (D) in fact informs and therefore precedes the CSP selection (C). The CLO-002 concepts that address these factors are: Feasibility study – Determining required services is a core study deliverable; even if a CSP assists with the study, the CSP may not be able to provide all required services; Gap analysis – the current vs. needed services is a core analysis deliverable; in order to know the “gap”, we must determine the required services; RFI/RFP/RFQ – these requests are solicitations and, for each, required services precede and inform CSP selection; informally RFI asks of potential CSP(s) “what services do you provide”, RFI asks “what services do you propose” and RFQ “quote prices for THESE services” (required services already identified).
