Question

The business analyst is working with a stakeholder on a Salesforce project. The stakeholder needs an approval process on contract submissions.

Explanation

Effective acceptance criteria are written from the user's perspective, describe observable behavior, and are testable. Option A captures the business rule clearly: a sales manager is notified when a discount exceeds 20%, which directly maps to the stakeholder's stated need for visibility and the approval trigger threshold. Option B describes a technical implementation (a button on a record) rather than a business behavior - it tells the developer what to build, not what the user needs. Option C is too vague to be testable ('large discount' is undefined). Option A is the most precise, user-centered, and testable statement.
