Selected Answer: C

The business analyst should communicate that the status of this requirement has changed. When a requirement is deferred or added to a subsequent project, it is important for the business analyst to communicate this change to all relevant stakeholders. This ensures that everyone is aware of the current status of the requirement and the plans for addressing it in the future. In this case, the business analyst should communicate the change in status to the sponsor and any other stakeholders who may be affected by the deferral of the requirement. This may involve updating the requirements documentation, updating the project plan, and/or communicating the change through other means, such as email or a project update meeting.
