Question
You are the business analyst for your organization. As part of the requirements prioritization you have given each key stakeholder $10,000 in play money to distribute among the identified requirements.

Explanation
The technique described - giving stakeholders a fixed budget of play money to allocate across requirements, then ranking requirements by total funds received - is a form of voting sometimes called 'buy a feature,' 'cumulative voting,' or the '$100 test.' Each stakeholder casts weighted 'votes' by distributing their budget, and the aggregated allocations determine priority. This is classified under voting techniques because stakeholders are collectively expressing their preferences through allocation choices. Resource leveling (A) relates to scheduling, not prioritization. Utility function (C) is a mathematical model for measuring value. Confirmation management (B) is not a standard prioritization technique.
