The correct answer is A. To help determine the sequence in which requirements are to be addressed. Recording dependencies and relationships between requirements allows a business analyst to understand which requirements depend on others, directly informing the order in which they must be addressed.
Question
You are the business analyst for THY Organization and you have gathered the requirements. You have presented the requirements to the stakeholders and they have approved your requirements.

Why each option
Recording dependencies and relationships between requirements allows a business analyst to understand which requirements depend on others, directly informing the order in which they must be addressed.
Dependencies between requirements reveal prerequisite relationships - some requirements cannot be implemented until others are complete. Recording these relationships enables the team to sequence work in a logical, technically feasible order and avoid blockers during implementation.
Risk identification uses techniques such as risk matrices, brainstorming, or SWOT analysis, not dependency mapping between requirements.
Total cost estimation is derived from scope definition, resource planning, and estimation techniques like analogous or parametric estimating, not from requirement relationship recording.
Total time estimation uses scheduling tools such as WBS decomposition and critical path analysis, not the recording of requirement dependencies alone.
