Explanation

Dependencies between requirements impact prioritization decisions, as some requirements may be critical to enabling others. If dependent requirements are removed, they mayaffect overall system functionality. BABOK® Guide (Chapter 5.1 - Prioritize Requirements)states that prioritization must considerdependencies, risks, and business value. Data flow (Option B)is useful for system modeling but does not help prioritize requirements. Functional decomposition (Option C)breaks down processes but does not prioritize them. Traceability (Option D)helps manage relationships but does not define priority directly.
