Explanation

When a community project has a large number of stakeholders, the most effective requirements elicitation approach is to organize a workshop with the sponsor and major stakeholders. Workshops bring the right decision-makers together in a structured, collaborative environment to define, prioritize, and validate requirements efficiently. Option A (engaging a consultant) bypasses direct stakeholder input. Option C (delegating facilitation to a coordinator) reduces the BA's control over quality. Option D (inviting all stakeholders) may seem inclusive, but workshops with too many participants-especially external ones without project authority-become unmanageable and unfocused. Focusing on the sponsor and major stakeholders ensures that the people with the most influence and knowledge drive the elicitation process.
