Explanation

When elicitation results are inconsistent, the BA shouldmodel the requirements and present them in a review meetingto facilitate stakeholder discussion and resolution. BABOK® Guide (Chapter 3.3 - Confirm Elicitation Results)states that usingmodels such as use cases, process diagrams, or prototypes can help align stakeholder understanding and resolve inconsistencies. Letting the project manager decide (Option B, C)is inappropriate because requirement alignment is abusiness analysis responsibility. The BA selecting the requirements (Option D)without stakeholder input may introduce bias.
