Explanation
When new technical constraints arise, the BA mustassess their impact and re-prioritize requirements accordinglyto align with feasible solutions. BABOK® Guide (Chapter 5.5 - Assess Requirements Changes)states that assessing change impactsensures alignment between requirements, business objectives, and technical feasibility. Convincing stakeholders of failure (Option A)is not constructive. Communicating constraints to customers (Option B)does not resolve the issue. Continuing as planned (Option C)ignores the newly identified risks.
