Explanation

Alternatives identification (C) is correct because it is specifically the scope definition technique focused on generating different approaches, methods, or ways to execute and complete the project work - it deliberately surfaces options before committing to one path.

• A (Build vs. buy) is a procurement decision-making technique, not a scope definition technique; it determines whether to make or purchase a deliverable, not how to define the work.
• B (Expert judgment) is a general-purpose input technique used throughout planning, not one specifically designed to generate alternative approaches.
• D (Product analysis) is used to translate project objectives and product descriptions into tangible deliverables - it analyzes what the product is, not how to approach doing the work.

Memory tip: Think of "alternatives" as brainstorming - when you want multiple ways to get something done, you identify alternatives. If the question mentions "different approaches" or "how to execute," that's your cue for alternatives identification.
