The correct answer is A. Implement a requirements re-use repository. A requirements re-use repository allows an organization to store, catalog, and retrieve requirements from previous similar projects, directly reducing redundant elicitation work.

Why each option
A requirements re-use repository allows an organization to store, catalog, and retrieve requirements from previous similar projects, directly reducing redundant elicitation work.
A requirements re-use repository is a centralized store of previously documented requirements that can be retrieved and applied to new projects with similar characteristics. Because the organization's projects are similar in nature, analysts can leverage existing validated requirements rather than gathering them from scratch each time, directly streamlining the process. This is a recognized best practice in organizations with high-volume, repetitive project types.
Project templates standardize project management artifacts and processes but do not store or enable the reuse of previously gathered requirements content.
A requirements gathering form standardizes the format in which requirements are collected but does not eliminate redundant elicitation work across similar projects.
Scope solution models help define solution boundaries but do not facilitate the reuse of requirements content from prior projects.
