The BA made the current state analysis with the SME, but he proposed a solution on a quick time, means he experiment the solution. This is more an experiment that a real collaboration with the SME. Nothing told us that the SME has helped the BA with the requirement I would go with answer A

Change my mind. It should be a collaborative elicitation, which involves direct interaction with stakeholders. There is no waste of time in a collaboration elicitation.

There are three common types of elicitation: • Collaborative: involves direct interaction with stakeholders, and relies on their experiences, expertise, and judgment. • Research: involves systematically discovering and studying information from materials or sources that are not directly known by stakeholders involved in the change. Stakeholders might still participate in the research. Research can include data analysis of historical data to identify trends or past results. • Experiments: involves identifying information that could not be known without some sort of controlled test. Some information cannot be drawn from people or documents—because it is unknown. Experiments can help discover this kind of information. Experiments include observational studies, proofs of concept, and prototypes.

I think collaborative. But research is possible since the question mentions market trends. However the question didn’t state the ba noticed the trends. Going with B -collaborative.

Option B - Collaborative. The BA consulted SMEs before recommending the solution. BABOK 4.2.2 - Collaborative: involves direct interaction with stakeholders, and relies on their experiences, expertise, and judgment.
