Selected Answer: D
Explanation: When a business analyst is evaluating solutions, logging defects, and preparing for a go/no-go decision, the next logical step is to gather more information to understand why the discrepancies exist. This makes elicitation the appropriate starting technique — it involves interacting with stakeholders to uncover root causes, clarify issues, and collect additional insights. Why the others are incorrect: A. Cost-benefit analysis: Useful for comparing the economic pros and cons of solutions but not ideal for uncovering root causes of defects. B. Feasibility analysis: Determines if a solution is viable, but doesn't directly help analyze specific discrepancies. C. Opportunity analysis: Identifies potential areas for improvement or advantage, not used for problem diagnosis.

Selected Answer: B
B. Análisis de viabilidad El análisis de viabilidad es fundamental para evaluar si las soluciones propuestas son factibles en términos de recursos, costos, tiempo y capacidades. Esto ayuda a identificar cualquier discrepancia entre los resultados esperados y los recursos o limitaciones disponibles, lo cual es crucial antes de tomar una decisión de seguir adelante o no.
