Ans is B:
BABOK V-3 6.1.2 Analyze Current State - The starting point for any change is an understanding of why the change is needed.

In the initial meeting with experts to improve a delivery process, the business analyst (BA) typically focuses on understanding the existing process. Creating a current state flowchart helps the BA document how the process currently operates, including all the steps, inputs, outputs, and decision points involved. This visualization provides a clear picture of the current workflow, which serves as a basis for identifying areas of improvement and formulating strategies for the future state. Therefore, creating a current state flowchart is an essential output of the initial meeting to establish a starting point for the analysis and improvement efforts.
