Explanation

Discussing the scope of the cloud audit (C) is the primary objective of an audit initiation meeting because this meeting formally establishes what systems, processes, and boundaries will be examined - without agreed-upon scope, no other audit activity can proceed meaningfully. Option A (methodology) is determined before or as part of scoping, not as the primary standalone objective of the kickoff. Option B (reviewing evidence) happens later during fieldwork, not at initiation. Option D (resource requirements) follows naturally from scope definition and is a secondary outcome, not the primary purpose.

Memory tip: Think of the initiation meeting as drawing the map before the journey - you must agree on where you're going (scope) before deciding how to get there (methodology/resources) or what you'll collect along the way (evidence).
