• B

• C
  11% (3)

Explanation

The BA's role includes facilitating productive stakeholder collaboration, not simply accepting or rejecting requests. With high-priority items still outstanding, adding a medium-priority item without context could be problematic. Choice A is correct because scheduling a discussion to understand the stakeholder's reasoning and then re-evaluating all items ensures that prioritization decisions are informed, transparent, and agreed upon collaboratively. Choice B is partially right in spirit (understanding the 'why') but too narrow - it only re-evaluates that one item rather than the full backlog. Choice C is incorrect because blindly supporting the stakeholder without re-examining priorities violates the BA's responsibility to protect project scope and delivery timelines.
