Explanation

Power distribution method (A) belongs to installation requirements, not business requirements - it describes how physical infrastructure (cabling, power outlets, PoE switches) will be set up, which is a site/deployment concern rather than a service-level concern.

The three distractors all fall squarely under business requirements because they define what the network must deliver to end users: field strength requirements (B) specify the minimum signal quality needed for reliable service, terminal type (C) determines which devices (phones, laptops, scanners, etc.) must be supported and influences capacity planning, and coverage area (D) defines which zones must have Wi-Fi access - all of these are "what does the business need?" questions.

Memory tip: Think of business requirements as user-facing needs ("what do people need to do on the network?") and installation requirements as technician-facing needs ("how do we physically set it up?"). Anything involving power, cabling, or mounting belongs to installation - so whenever you see "power distribution," categorize it with the physical deployment, not the service design.
