Why each option

Effectiveness is the performance measure that evaluates the value of business analysis work products relative to the cost, time, and resources invested in producing them.

AStrategy

Strategy refers to the planned approach for achieving business analysis objectives, not a measure for evaluating value delivered against investment.

BEffectivenessCorrect

Effectiveness as a BA performance measure assesses whether the work products produced deliver sufficient value in proportion to the investments of cost, time, and resources expended. It focuses on the return or benefit gained from the analysis effort, making it the appropriate measure for evaluating the quality and value of outputs against inputs for the team.

CSignificance

Significance relates to the importance or priority of requirements or work, not a comparative measure of value versus resource expenditure.

DKnowledge

Knowledge as a performance dimension relates to the BA's competency and learning, not the cost-benefit ratio of work products produced.
