Explanation

Privacy threat modeling (e.g., using the LINDDUN framework) is a structured, proactive methodology applied to software architecture to systematically identify where privacy threats exist in the system design and then define mitigations. 'Systematically eliciting' captures the structured enumeration of threat categories across data flows, processes, and stores in the architecture. Option A describes risk management of existing control weaknesses, not threat modeling. Option C describes threat intelligence and exploit estimation. Option D describes usability or QA testing through scenarios-not threat modeling.
