Selected Answer: C

The Elicitation Activity Plan is the document that outlines: • Sources of information to be consulted during elicitation. • Techniques and activities used to gather information. • Expected outcomes or results from the elicitation sessions. When the business analyst (BA) needs to confirm elicitation results, this plan serves as a reference to compare what was gathered against the intended outcomes. It helps ensure that all relevant sources were consulted and that the elicited information aligns with the project’s goals.

Selected Answer: B

While options such as the information management approach (Option A), elicitation activity plan (Option C), and business analysis approach (Option D) are important aspects of business analysis, the business analysis plan specifically provides guidance on how to confirm elicitation results and ensures alignment with the overall project objectives. Therefore, Option B is the most appropriate choice in this scenario.
