Explanation

Impact analysis is the process specifically designed to evaluate the effects of a proposed change - it examines what systems, processes, stakeholders, or requirements will be affected, to what degree, and what risks or dependencies exist. Competitive analysis (A) assesses market rivals and positioning, not the downstream effects of change. Decision analysis (B) is a framework for selecting among alternatives, not for measuring a change's consequences. Modeling (C) can be a tool used within an analysis, but is not itself the named analysis type for evaluating change effects.

Memory tip: Think of "impact" as the ripple effect - when you drop a change into a system, Impact Analysis maps every ripple. If you see "effect of change" on an exam, match it directly to "Impact."
