Why each option
In a pair-wise comparison matrix, the component with the fewest wins across all comparisons receives the lowest priority score.
Project A scored more wins than Project E in the pair-wise comparison matrix shown in the figure.
Project D accumulated more comparison wins than Project E, placing it higher in the priority ranking.
Pair-wise comparison scores each component against every other component one at a time, and totals the wins for each. Project E accumulated the fewest wins across all comparisons in the referenced figure, yielding the lowest relative priority among all components.
Project F received a higher total score than Project E in the pair-wise comparison, giving it a higher priority.
