Selected Answer: D

Brainstorming sessions aim to encourage unrestricted creativity and divergent thinking. Setting a numerical goal for ideas risks: Limiting creativity: Participants may stop generating ideas once the target is met, even if more innovative solutions remain unexplored. Prioritizing quantity over quality: Stakeholders might focus on hitting the goal rather than refining or building on meaningful ideas. The BABOK Guide (Chapter 10: Techniques - Brainstorming) emphasizes that the purpose of brainstorming is to explore all possibilities without artificial constraints, fostering an environment where stakeholders feel free to share diverse perspectives.
