Explanation
Effective user stories follow the INVEST criteria: Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, and Testable. A BA reviewing stories should confirm they are small enough to be estimated accurately (so the team can plan sprints) and can be prioritized relative to each other (so the product owner can manage the backlog). Option A is wrong because user stories should be written in plain business language focused on user value, not technical details - technical elements belong in technical design documents. Option B is wrong because well-written user stories should be independent of each other, not dependent or overlapping.
