• B
  8% (3)
• C
  3% (1)
• E
  3% (1)

Explanation

A (Build relationships) and D (Influence others) are correct because an Enterprise IT Business Specialist acts as a bridge between technical teams and business stakeholders - a role that depends entirely on trust-based relationships and the ability to persuade decision-makers without direct authority.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B - Explaining design decisions in multiple spoken languages is a niche requirement, not a universal interpersonal skill; the question targets core competencies, not linguistic ability.
• C - Planning and scheduling complex data migrations is a project management/technical skill, not a communications or interpersonal one.
• E - Interpreting financial statements is an analytical/financial literacy skill - valuable, but not categorized as a communications or interpersonal skill.

Memory tip: Think of the Enterprise IT Business Specialist as an internal consultant - consultants live or die by two things: connecting with people (relationships) and moving people to act (influence). If the answer choices relate to soft/people skills, prioritize those over technical or analytical ones.
