Explanation

A BA's role requires balancing all stakeholder voices equitably. While it's important not to dismiss the new employee's enthusiasm and ideas, the BA must ensure that key stakeholders - especially those with decision-making authority and direct process involvement - are engaged. Option B is correct because acknowledging the employee's input is respectful and inclusive, while simultaneously making extra effort to reach established stakeholders ensures the project captures the full range of relevant perspectives needed to make sound decisions. Option A (one-on-one meeting with only the new employee) risks overweighting a single, less-experienced voice. Option C (sending a survey to the entire team) is a valid technique but is too broad and reactive to the situation described.
