Why each option

The Elicitation Activity Plan guides the BA in confirming elicitation results by specifying which sources to consult and which outputs to compare.

AInformation management approach

The Information Management Approach defines how business analysis information will be stored, accessed, and maintained - it does not guide confirmation of elicitation results.

BBusiness analysis plan

The Business Analysis Plan covers the overall approach to business analysis activities broadly and does not provide specific guidance on which sources and results to compare during elicitation confirmation.

CElicitation activity planCorrect

The Elicitation Activity Plan is the specific document that defines the scope of elicitation activities, including which stakeholders and information sources are involved and what outputs are expected. When confirming elicitation results, the BA references this plan to determine which sources and results should be compared to validate that elicitation outputs align with what was planned.

DBusiness analysis approach

The Business Analysis Approach describes the overall methodology and techniques to be used, but does not provide specific guidance on sources and results for elicitation confirmation.
