Gina has been asked to provide decision analysis for her solution scope. Which one of the following best describes the decision analysis technique?

Supporting benefit management and measurement describes a performance measurement or benefits realization activity, not a decision analysis technique.

Assessing risks and their cost-benefit implications describes risk analysis, which is a separate technique from decision analysis.

Forecasting the investment required to deploy a solution describes cost estimation or return-on-investment analysis, not decision analysis itself.

Cost-benefit analysis is the foundational decision analysis technique that quantifies the financial trade-offs of a proposed solution by weighing implementation and operational costs against projected benefits. It enables stakeholders to make an informed choice about whether and how to proceed with a solution. This direct comparison of costs and benefits is the defining characteristic of decision analysis in the business analysis context.
