Why each option
After verification, a team review is the appropriate validation method because it engages key stakeholders to confirm that requirements accurately represent business needs.
A team review, also known as a structured walkthrough, involves key stakeholders systematically examining requirements to confirm they are correct, complete, and aligned with business goals. It is the standard BABOK technique for requirements validation, providing a formal mechanism for stakeholders to identify gaps and provide sign-off. Its direct stakeholder engagement makes it suitable for validating requirements that span multiple business processes such as product setup, sales, and support.
Brainstorming is an ideation technique used during elicitation to generate a broad set of ideas or solutions and is not appropriate for validating already-defined and verified requirements.
Joint application design is an intensive elicitation technique used early in a project to collaboratively define requirements, not to validate requirements that have already been verified.
Product backlog prioritization is an agile planning activity for ranking and ordering work items and does not serve as a validation technique for confirming requirements accuracy with stakeholders.
