Explanation
The stakeholder complaint reveals a transparency and communication gap. When stakeholders do not understand why certain components are being selected or deprioritized, it means the criteria used to rank and choose components were either unclear or not shared. Defining and communicating the prioritization model ensures all stakeholders understand how and why decisions are made, reducing confusion and mistrust. Modifying criteria (B) addresses the wrong problem - the issue is communication, not the criteria themselves. Managing supply and demand (C) addresses resource capacity, not stakeholder understanding. Adding stakeholders to the board (D) is a governance change that does not solve the root communication issue.
