Why each option
The business analysis plan is the document that details how the business analyst will perform their work, including scope, WBS, activity list, and time estimates.
The project management plan covers overall project planning including schedule, cost, and quality baselines, but does not specifically define the business analysis activity list and BA-specific estimates.
The implementation plan addresses how a solution will be deployed or rolled out, not how business analysis activities will be planned and estimated.
The requirements management plan describes how requirements will be elicited, documented, and controlled, but does not include the BA work breakdown structure or activity-level estimates.
The business analysis plan is created by the business analyst and specifically contains the scope of the BA work, a deliverable-level work breakdown structure, the list of activities to be performed, and resource and time estimates for those activities. It is the primary planning artifact owned by the business analyst for managing their own work effort.
