Reasonable, the project launch does not mean that all the requirement status need to be fixed, with time, some points maybe have changed into deferred.

Selected Answer: B

B. The status should have been communicated to all project stakeholders. In order to prevent stakeholders from being surprised about changes to requirements status, it is important to communicate any changes in a timely and transparent manner. This includes communicating the status change to all relevant stakeholders, updating any relevant documentation (such as the traceability matrix), and ensuring that the requirement’s source is aware of the change. By keeping everyone informed about changes to requirements status, the project team can avoid surprises and ensure that everyone is on the same page.
