Why each option

The eight characteristics of a well-formed requirement are cohesive, complete, consistent, correct, feasible, modifiable, unambiguous, and testable - 'functional' is a type of requirement, not a characteristic.

AFunctionalCorrect

Functional describes a category or type of requirement (as opposed to non-functional requirements such as performance or security constraints), not a quality attribute that a requirement must possess. The eight characteristics define how a requirement should be written and evaluated, while 'functional' describes what subject area the requirement addresses.

BModifiable

Modifiable is one of the eight valid characteristics, meaning a requirement must be structured so it can be changed without disrupting other requirements in the document.

CUnambiguous

Unambiguous is one of the eight valid characteristics, meaning a requirement must have exactly one possible interpretation to avoid confusion during implementation.

DTestable

Testable is one of the eight valid characteristics, meaning there must be a verifiable, objective method to confirm that the requirement has been satisfied.
