Why each option

Problem tracking is the elicitation technique used to record, assign ownership to, and monitor identified issues to ensure they are resolved during business analysis activities.

ABrainstorming

Brainstorming is a facilitation technique for generating new ideas and potential solutions, not for monitoring and ensuring resolution of already-identified problems.

BObservation

Observation is an elicitation technique where the analyst watches stakeholders perform their work to understand current-state processes, not a method for tracking open issues.

CInterviews

Interviews are used to gather information and requirements directly from stakeholders, not to document and monitor problem resolution.

DProblem trackingCorrect

Problem tracking is a formal documentation technique designed specifically to log identified problems, track their status, assign responsibility, and confirm resolution. It provides the structured visibility needed to ensure that no identified issue goes unresolved throughout the business analysis lifecycle.
