Explanation
When beginning a new project phase, the BA should prioritize user stories for the new enhancements in the initial sprints (Choice C). The new business stakeholder requests represent the current, actively prioritized business needs that are driving this new phase. Old backlog items from the previous phase may have lower or shifted priority, and should be re-evaluated and incorporated into later sprints after current priorities are addressed. Choice A (hiring additional resources immediately) introduces unnecessary cost and overhead before scope is even fully defined. Choice B (immediately reprioritizing all old and new stories together) could delay delivery of the highest-value new features by mixing them indiscriminately with potentially stale backlog items. Addressing new priorities first ensures the team delivers maximum current business value.
