Why each option

Different stakeholders consume requirements at different levels of detail; implementation subject matter experts require the most granular technical specifications.

AProject manager

Project managers need high-level scope and milestone information for planning and tracking, not detailed technical interface specifications.

BRegulators

Regulators need requirements focused on compliance, legal standards, and auditability, not low-level technical interface details.

CTesters

Testers primarily need functional and acceptance criteria to validate behavior, rather than detailed technical interface specifications that govern implementation.

DImplementation subject matter expertsCorrect

Implementation subject matter experts are directly responsible for building, configuring, and integrating system components, so they require detailed technical interface requirements to understand data formats, protocols, and interaction points between systems. Without this detail, they cannot accurately design or construct the solution.
