Why each option

In a plan-driven business analysis approach, all communication documents must be archived and retained as organizational process assets for future reference.

AAll formal communication must be destroyed once the project is completed.

Destroying formal communication documents after project completion would eliminate institutional knowledge and violates standard plan-driven governance and record-keeping requirements.

BAll communications must be documented and passed onto the solution's project manager for

Responsibility for archiving business analysis communications does not automatically transfer to the project manager - the business analyst and the organization's defined processes govern retention.

CThe communications management plan will dictate what will happen to the business analysis

While a communications management plan may provide guidance, it does not exclusively dictate what happens to business analysis documents; in a plan-driven approach the broader requirement is that documents become organizational process assets, which is the more complete and correct answer.

DAll communications must be archived and will become part of the organizational process asCorrect

Plan-driven approaches emphasize rigor, documentation, and organizational knowledge retention. Communication documents produced during a high-priority project are considered valuable organizational assets and must be archived according to the organization's policies so they can inform future projects. This archiving requirement is consistent with the plan-driven principle of building and preserving organizational process assets (OPAs).
