Explanation

Gap analysis is correct because it is specifically defined as the formal study of the difference between an organization's current state ("where it is now") and its desired future state ("where it wants to be"), which is exactly what the question describes - a document comparing present operations to future goals.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A. Cost-benefit analysis compares the costs versus benefits of a decision or project - it's financial in nature, not a current-vs-future state assessment.
• C. Requirement analysis focuses on identifying and documenting what stakeholders need from a system or project, not on organizational positioning.
• D. Vulnerability analysis identifies security weaknesses or risks, typically used in IT/security contexts.

Memory tip: Think of a "gap" as the space between where you are and where you want to be - gap analysis literally maps that space. If the question mentions "current state vs. future state," the answer is almost always gap analysis.
