Explanation

Mind mapping is the technique used here. Per the PMBOK Guide, mind mapping 'consolidates ideas created through individual brainstorming sessions into a single map to reflect commonality and differences in understanding and to generate new ideas.' It visually organizes information in a hierarchical or radial format. An affinity diagram (D) groups large numbers of ideas into categories, but does not specifically highlight commonality vs. differences from brainstorming sessions. Collective decision making (A) is used to assess multiple options. Multicriteria decision analysis (B) involves scoring and ranking alternatives against defined criteria.
