Explanation

In PRINCE2 Agile, a Business Ambassador must meet two core criteria: they need authority to make decisions on behalf of the business, and they need relevant business knowledge to guide the team. Option A satisfies the authority requirement - being authorised by the Marketing Director means the Chief Accountant can commit the business without constant escalation. Option D satisfies the knowledge requirement - understanding financial realities means they can make informed trade-off decisions about scope and budget.

Why the distractors fail:

• B (having staff) is irrelevant - seniority over Accounts Clerks says nothing about decision-making authority or business insight for the project.
• C (six months' tenure, keen to impress) describes motivation, not capability or authority - eagerness alone doesn't qualify someone for the role.
• E (personal refurbishment project) is a red herring playing on "Architecture Angels" - a hobby project has no bearing on formal business representation.

Memory tip: Think of a Business Ambassador as needing two things - a badge (authority to speak for the business) and a brain (relevant knowledge to make good decisions). If an option doesn't give them a badge or a brain for this project, it's wrong.
