Why each option

Problem Management benefits Incident Management primarily by enabling faster incident resolution through published workarounds and by reducing the recurrence of incidents through permanent fixes.

AIncident managers authorize problem investigations

Incident managers do not authorize problem investigations - problem investigations are initiated and managed by the Problem Management process, independent of incident manager approval.

BSolutions implemented reduce future incidentsCorrect

When a Problem Investigation results in a root cause fix and that fix is implemented, the underlying issue causing related incidents is eliminated, reducing future incident volume. Published workarounds (C) from active problems provide service desk agents with immediate resolution steps for recurring incidents, speeding up mean time to resolve without waiting for a permanent solution.

CPublished workarounds help quickly resolve incidentsCorrect
DProblem Investigations automatically triggered for multiple user incidents

Problem investigations are not automatically triggered in the baseline when multiple users report the same incident - this requires manual identification or a configured automation rule.
